Default RE: Cold snap keeping them quiet?

It was cold this morning and they were tearing it up in Indiana, but I know what you're experiencing. Usually, with the cold snap, it puts the hens on the nest and allows for the longbeards to be without hens. I love it when it's like this. It's almost a guarentee if you play your cards right. I know you can only hunt til 1:00pm, so get where the birds are and just wait it out and see what happens. Once it warms up a bit they'll start gobbling again. Seems like 10:00am is the magic number in my years of experience. Swampcollie, couldn't have said it any better. They all are correct and will quiet the gobbling for a bit. I'm heading to Cook Forest and the Allegheny national forest next week from Monday to Thursday if you want to tag along. Don't know exactly where you live, but I'm always open to fellow turkey hunters to tag along. Good luck and patience is the true virtue to turkey hunting. Hang in there they'll fire up soon enough. God bless!
