Back home early season the birds gobble 15-20 times on the roost....fly down and gobble 8-10 more times then shut up....the two year olds will move around gobbling on and off all day long. Most evenings about an hour before sunset they will gobble a few times. From your experience... What do the central Florida gobblers do?
never hunted turkeys, i have camped alot and heard them going off in the mornings. when we use to camp on the peace river in desoto county they would gobble in the mornings until it started to warm up and then we wouldn't hear them. we saw a few fly across the river a couple mornings while canoing down river.

About the same here. The seem to shut down by 8AM, then pick back up around 10ish till noon, then go quiet till right at dark. The birds I hunt don't gobble much at dark, maybe once or twice at fly-up
Most birds that I have hunted on public lands gobble quite a bit on roost. The ones that die are the ones that keep gobbling after they hit the ground but most will gobble a few times after flying down. Then they usually shut up the rest of the day unless you can really fire one up. Last spring I got one to gobble at 10:30 and that was just one time 30 yards from me behind some bushes then silent. Now this is on hard hunted public lands not on private lands heck they may gobble all morning or day on private.
