Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

We had such an early winter that the leaves, and berries froze on many of the trees. That was followed by deep snow, which you would think would not give the turkeys much to eat.

The turkeys just adapted to the conditions, roosting in the trees during the day, eating their fill of hackberries. I think they're a lot tougher than we give them credit for.

Good to hear all the positive replys, just never gave it much thought before, as these snowfalls are just not that common around here. Our turkeys have had pretty good conditions year to year as far back as I can remember, this year is the worst.

I really love my Spring bird hunting and was just a bit concerned, as I'd didn't know what to expect? Thanks
