Gobblers

[MrChickyBaBa]

Went crappie fishing at T-Ville yesterday and heard one gobble for half the morning, even with the cold temps, but that was before it got cloudy and started snowing.

well took the son yesterday to Taylorsville and heard one bird gobble on the roost. Went and set up and never heard him again. We decided to stay in the area and wait him out, gave up about 11:30 and went to get some lunch.

After we ate, we drove to another area where I had killed birds in the past. Not a single bird to be found anywhere. We finally called it a day about 2:30 and on the way out to the truck we spooked a big gobbler who was right in the middle of the logging road.

Kind of new at turkey hunting, how does the cold effect the gobblers?

[Tim_T]

Salt Craw, this was my first epxerience hunting them in the cold. From things I have read and heard from others, it appears the cold didn't have as much of an affect as I thought. I do believe the wind gives them lockjaw, and as I tiold my son yesterday, I have not had much luck hunting silent birds. I am just not patient enough or something.
