i live in massachusetts, and we are getting unually warm weather at this time of year. my question is do you think that the weather will screw up turkey hunting? it doesnt open here til april 26. the weather seems to be up and down last weekend we had low 30 nights for a couple days then 70s during the day. and this weekend there saying saturday could hit 80. we also had three days of soaking rain too. thanks for any input.

Rain will likely affect the birds more than the temperature. If the woods are wet, turks will stay up in their roost trees for a little longer, if they can help it.

If you're out in the woods, and it's lightly raining, stay. Often, once the weather breaks, they'll go out into open areas to sun and warm up.
