Default RE: Are They Gonna Gobble Early This Year??

This may be a strange question related to the subject....but what are the effects of El-Nino conditions on turkeys? It seems we've had some unseasonably warm weather at the oddest times in some parts of the country. Even here in my own Washington State it's only February and we have had some very spring-like, warm days already. I've always been told that "when the days get longer (daylight savings?) and the temperatures get warmer, gobbling activity increases. I would think it could potentially cause turkeys to increase gobbling activity earlier than later...

Any turkey biology experts out there that can shed some light on El-Nino's effects on gobbling activity?
