Although I have tagged out on Virginia turkeys for the season, I still am going to listen for birds behind our house every morning. I have not heard any toms all week whereas previous weeks I heard as many as four.
Of course, some of those toms may have been killed on the adjacent farms and the rainy, cold weather probably has something to do with the lack of gobbling. More rain is forecast for the next three days, and I would not be optimistic about hearing any gobblers during that type of weather.
Here's my prediction. I believe the weather will change next week, and there will be intense gobbling from multiple toms next week in many places including our woodlot and around Virginia and West Virginia. Of course, the seasons will be over in both states, but such is life and the vagaries of the spring some years.
