I’ve called in a few hens but the birds aren’t gobbling here. So for right now it’s just “sit down, tree yelp, shut up and wait.”

I’ll bring this back up in a few weeks to see how y’all did.

It's opening day here and I went with my two sons. My oldest and I both connected on birds. The other son is trying to do it with a bow and that is proving to be much more challenging.

You look like the temps might have been on the lower side Charlie.

Gobbler # 1. He came in silent. I only called once and then went quiet myself after they came off roost. Snuck in a hour later, but not quiet enough to not be seen through Double Bull blind. 2yr old. 9-1/2” beard and 3/4” spurs.
Gobbler #2. In an afternoon set up, this guy and four of his mates came a running to mug my gobbler decoy. I had just finished a call set and was texting with PH in Zim when they came at a sprint. Dropped phone, dropped cigar, and picked up gun. They all stood bunched up posturing until one separated from the gang and he got flattened. Carbon copy of previous bird, except half his beard was just a stub due to bugs or fungus. The rest of the beard was 9-1/2”. Another good 2 yr old bird. Land owner was happy as he asked me to save the old birds for his grandson. Happy the birds obliged with his request, because I am not that patient, but was committed to not taking a 3 or 4 yr old bird.

@Mort Hill I'm seeing a load of 2 year olds in Robertson County. Next year should have some older birds everywhere in TN if other counties are seeing the same.

Confirmed. I think they got a reprieve during Covid, along with mild winter. Ought to be fabulous in 2022.

This was my experience here in San Diego. My tom couldn’t get to the decoys fast enough and my partner bagged a jake following him. They seemed a lot less cautious than usual.
Got him 2 days ago. Came in totally silent to my decoy, was strutting his tail off though. Even with TSS I'm limited to about 35 yards with the Blaser because of the fixed choke but that was plenty. 1" spurs. Smoked a delicious breast after I brined overnight.
