Here to from western N.Y. Been alot of gobbling  the first two weekends till  about 6:30 a.m.  No sightings.  The neighbor has peacocks  and every time they would yell, the turkeys would gobble.  Past Saturday and Sunday, very quiet.  I figure that is  because of the rain, they are down very early off the roost.  Saw a big gobbler at 100 yards but, wouldn't commit to the hen decoys or the calls. I figure he's been shot at and is wise. Maybe should of had a Gobbler decoy?  Saw a hen at 7:08 come in at 30 yds. She too was moving on.  Sunday started  with clucking in front of me at 6:38.  Nice hen at 10 yds.  Stayed there looking at the decoys for a few minutes. Had a jake with hens for decoys to the left rear of me and a tom with a feeding hen to the right.  Between me and her was a 8 foot wide ditch with waist deep water.  Seeing hens so early in the morning makes me wonder if the nests are getting flooded out.  Hope not.  I think the hunters have educated the turkeys so, it will be tough from here on out. Good luck to everyone.
