Congratulations Kevin! Birds have been mostly quiet on the farm. I have been competing with coyotes and trespassers unfortunately. I hope this is one of those years that the gobblers become more vocal toward the end of the season. Well now you can concentrate on your walleyes!- 1 reply

Ha, you got me, sometimes I am a little slow! -
I have to disagree with this, I have seen flocks of maybe 30 longbirds recently, as I said above, separate from flocks of hens. I know beard rot can be a thing, I have seen an occasional adult gobbler with a full fan and no apparent beard.

There are large flocks now feeding on the waste corn post harvest. Unfortunately the usual pattern is that by the time spring turkey season opens they disperse far and wide.

I think it is very common this time of year to see flocks that are completely segregated by gender, at least that is what we see on our farm. (Funny: I was forced to edit, I originally had the word "gender" replaced by s*x, which apparently is not allowed and was edited as "fun loving".).

That is infuriating for sure, not hunting, right. If the DEC does not deal with him it will only be a bigger problem in the future! -
It was hundreds (at least) times worse back in the seventies, absolutely disgusting. The perch spawn up north seemed more drawn out than usual, I wonder if the lake temperatures are a bit colder than normal. We did have more ice than in recent years. -
Congratulations Kevin to your wife! I made a few trips up to your area this spring for perch and always watch the fields for turkeys, it seems like fewer birds are around, at least on the fields I could see off of 81 and 12. In my area, northern Oswego and Cayuga Counties, turkey numbers are way down. I only heard a couple distant gobbles and one person shot off in the distance. It's early I guess. Good luck finding your bird! By the way, I don't know the reason for the decline in turkey numbers, it may not be cause and effect, but fisher numbers have steadily increased over the last decade? -
Perch in April

If you are on Wellsley Island, try Eel Bay. You will see all the boats, it is shallow in the bay itself, maybe 5 feet. Go around the small islands on the way there from the state launch. Friends did well there on Wednesday but lots of sorting, bring plenty of minnows. Morning seems to be better, I think the spawn is nearing the end based on what I saw on Wednesday. -
Pre surgery outing

Yes, wishing you a quick recovery and great catch there Kevin! -
Thanks Scalloper and others for the responses!

Scalloper, if you don't mind me asking, who is your good mechanic in FH? Thanks.
-
Awesome, thanks! -
Very nice display Kevin! How has the walleye fishing been on the river this summer?

Ski-dooz I know, it does seem strange. They are very fine table fare when taken from cold water and like bass and bluegills/sunfish they are very vulnerable when spawning.
