Default How does cold weather affect turkeys?

OK guys, I'm a real novice when it comes to this turkey huntin' thing, but I'm trying to get my feet wet. I've got a friend here in Southeast Missouri who owns about 140 acres with several nice turkeys being seen daily in the pastures, and I think I wanna take a shot at bagging one of 'em.

Problem is, it was in the mid '70s last week, and this morning it was below freezing, with the temp hovering around 30. What should I expect in the morning from the turkeys? Will they stay on the roost longer? Be less vocal? Anyone had any experience with extreme cold snaps like this?
