Default CHilly Weather......Do Turkeys Move?

Next week the weather here in Northern NJ will be chilly, do the birds move and respond to calling when the temps are chilly?

I have hunted them when it is cold. I will say they dont seem to be as active when it comes to gobbeling. I think it is still defiently worth your time to go.

That's a tricky one. I went out tonight and tried to listen for some gobbles right before fly up and after fly up and heard only 2. You know how warm it was this evening. Buta few weeks ago I was out one morning when it was probably 40 degrees out and they were going crazy! I probably heard over 100 gobbles in 1/2 hour. If anything, it could delay them flying down for a little while but I don't think it'll turn them completely off where you'll be. They're in the mood for love!

Yeah theyll respond, definetly. A couple years ago I shot a nice tom while it was cold and snowing. Walked in the woods, sat down, called him in a shot him within a matter of about 10 minutes. My dad shot a jake a few years ago while it was snowing. The birds are still out there, they have no where to go. Cold or not, hunt them. Theyll still respond, trust me.
