Spring Turkeys?

[BrowningCitori]

Anyone else hunting spring turkeys in Montana? Just curious thoughts on number and gobbling activity with this late spring. I found this long double beard on Saturday (4/21) and managed to fool him after a long hunt. Several of my old reliable spots, when checked before sunrise I heard no gobbling activity.

Two 9.25" beards
1" spurs

Nice bird, where about you hunting? Weather has been pretty good around Big Timber where I turkey hunt, but haven't made it down yet from up on the high line. Had friends take their boys down to Nebraska pine ridge a couple weeks ago, they were gobbling and coming into calls good there, the kids all bagged 2 gobblers and had a fantastic time.
