same here. only a few birds in the yard during season. but last weekend, every time a fire cracker went off the gobbler would sound. also the geese have been making a lot of noise on my stream. every honk gets a gobble, morning and afternoon.
 
Of course they are Bob, I told you 13 of them were on ths state land the evening the season closed, like they somehow knew :D

Mike, I've been keeping my eyes peeled, looking . . .
I'm determined to see some poults this year if I can pull myself away from the stripers now :)
 
Something very strange going on with the striper fishing this year. They were here a few weeks ago and now nobody can seem to find them. They'll pick up one or two among loads of blues, but they're just not in the bay. And there are several thoughts as to what's going on.

1) They're up in the Hudson spawning.
2) The water got too cold and they headed south and are down by Point Pleasant
3) They headed out into the ocean already.
4) We've already over fished them and have to wait for another body of bass to make their way into the bay.

Some actually think there will be no real bass season this year. Bottom line is that nobody really knows what happened or what's going on, but there is no main body of bass fish in the Raritan Bay right now. It could change any day, or it could be over already. I've got to keep trying though.
 
I had a huge gobbler and 2 hens right in the road this morning! Crazy stuff[ko]
