Congrats, you just jinxed yourself. All kidding aside, all turkeys are not created equal. My experience is that the further north you go, the more vocal the birds are, which can lead to them being easier to kill. Knowing where he's at is half the battle. I think it has to do with the amount of underbrush and their visibility distance. The warmer the climate, the longer the growing season and the thicker the brush. Down here, it's common to hear a lot of gobbling before flydown and then dead silence the rest of the day. I don't think think turkeys are as likely to gobble when they can't see predators approaching. If you can kill an Alabama bird, you can kill one anywhere.
