I have heard plenty of double and triple-gobbles, but yesterday morning I had a tom roosted at 0600 that was quadruple-gobbling!! He started off tradtionally w/ singles and then an occasional double. He was henned up (again) and every time one of his girlfriends would talk dirty to him he gave a quadruple-gobble (POWowowPOWowowPOWowowPOWowow). He must've gobbled about 50 times before they flew down and he shut up. A first for me. Never got a good look at him, but he sounded BIG! |

I was set up on a bird a couple of years ago. A distant train went by, and the noise made him gobble non stop for what seemed to be like 5 minutes. Hard to count how many times he gobbled in a row, sounded like 1 long drawn out gobble non stop. Neat to hear them when they do that. |

I think 2003 season opening day my son and I parked the truck to hunt and a thunder storm was approaching. We heard a gobbler make ten consecutive gobbles to thunder. |

I posted on this subject last year to some guffaws. I have heard a gobbler go 12+ gobbles in a row without stopping. He did this countless times that morning. AND he was on public land in amherst. Had a buddy w/ me. We couldn't believe it and didn't know it could be done either till then. |

I've heard them gobble to the point where it sounded like they ran out of air and nearly chocked to death! Fun to listen to. |
