I've seen and heard decent numbers this year. It's been real tough hunting because the ones I've heard have gobbled a time or two and shut down totally. I hunt until 12 at least on most days I go, so they may start back up at some point during the day, but it's not in the mornings.
Notice I said decent numbers. I hardly ever hunted and didn't hear anything, but the 4 and 5 bird mornings were really rare this year. Also, I saw a 2 or 3 day period where gobblers we're going crazy (due to the hens starting to set is my thought) and that was it. Normally there's a two week period where they are waking up alone and committing suicide.
