A lot of lone toms are gobbling for most of the day, while others are only gobbling a handful of times at dawn, and then flying down, shutting up, and strutting with hens. Seeing groups of two toms at a time, and groups of 2-4 hens by themselves. I shot one of 2 toms on 4/6/21 that came up to my calls on a ridgetop that has a high stem-count of trees overlooking some cow pastures, at around 11:30am, and they were both gobbling hard.
