i woke up this morning to find out that we got dumped with snow, about 3 inches over night. they say it wont last long but what if it does? how will this effect the birds? gobbling, struting, ect? i am very scared that it wont be gone, please tell me that there are some good reason' s that God has blessed me with this dumb snow. thanks, who_else

Yeah it is snowing here in York. This is ridiculous. This past weekend I was in fulton County Just outside of McConnellsburg. I saw three birds, 22 deer, and 2 grouse so all in all it was a good day. I didnt hear any gobbling but the fog and haze didnt lift until 2:00 so i wasnt able to call early in the morning i just worked on our cabin instead. Anyone know anything about the McConnellsburg area?

A couple of good things about snow while turkey hunting..... 5. Gobblers stick out like a sore thumb. 4. Makes scouting and tracking turkey movements very easy. 3. Ability to track turkeys. 2. Makes it easily to cool your bird down once you' ve shot it.

1. Hunting turkeys is fun no matter what' s on the ground!

Seriously. Unless there' s a blizzard. Turkeys will keep doing what turkeys do in the spring. I' ve shot a few shortly after a blizzard.

heh all weekend we have ahd an ice storm. Various trees down and power lines as well. And to top in off we got 2 inches of snow today :-/

Hey Borch,
Thanks for the good news. Here in Mid NH we have more snow falling as I write.
Had 10 " Fri- Sat and now 2-3" more. My hunting areas have 2-15 " . We drove around last evening and the only turks we saw were in back yards near feeders.

There is 23 days till the VT. opener, 26 for NH. A lot can change in that timeframe. Maybe we wil get another big snowstorm , we don' t care cause we' re goin' turkey hunting !

Just remember last years weather. Beautiful winter but come the end of April it got cold and either snowed or rained for 2 weeks. I`ll put up with this weather and just keep telling myself that when it does warm-up it is going to be a prefect spring.
