Hey I have shot them in the snow? Yep - even knocked the wife off the bed so I could have the white sheet to hide with.

what I did was find a pine - trimmed a branch or two and sat under the snow covered branches.

neb, I have taken turkeys on sunny days, in snowstorms (a blizzard), thunderstorms, and just plain ole misserable rain. What I found is that with snow storms, they like to be in the edge of the bush, not so much in the open fields.

But as for calling being the same, I have always found that rom day to day, the calling is usualy different anyway. Some days this will work, other days that works,but that is turkey hunting and why most of us love it.

Good luck and have fun learning.

I have found that they tend to stay on the roost longer with snow during the night with 4 iches on the ground in the am.
