Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Spring gobbler season

And snow on the mountain.

cold here but no snow, supposed to be 70 tomorrow with 15 mph wind

It was light flurry’s this morning when I got up to go. I just said piss on it!

70’s here starting Monday. 30 tonight.

Weather in Mn has sucked for most of the last two weeks. Turkey opener is next Wed, chance of rain 80%. I hunt them with a bow and looking forward to some decent weather.

how do the turkeys act in snow?


in the unlikely event we get snow during deer season, they dont move.

back in 2017 or so, we had a storm come through, snow stayed on ground for 3 days.

work was shut down because of bad roads.

i figured id do some good hunting, didnt see anything,

guess the snow spooked em

Nice.

Supposed to head out for SD, WY, and MT on Thursday. Big snow storm coming this week. I would delay about 4 days but my buddy can't alter his schedule. We will see.

I've killed spring gobblers twice with snow on the ground. Once was on Mother's Day back in the 90s. We woke up to 4-5 inches on the ground and my wife (pre-children of our own) decided she would rather sleep in so I went alone. I'll never forget those birds strutting up the ridge with a snowy background.

To answer the question it didn't faze the birds one bit, but man was it cold!

No snow here thank god. Wife called these birds in on Friday for pics while I was out fishing.

27 degrees here last night and the temp got up to 37 degrees this afternoon. Doesn't matter to me, we don't have turkeys up here.

They were.going crazy down on the farm just outside of Augusta KY this morning. The opener is this coming Saturday.

Have killed them in the snow. Last spring Missouri 22 deg and 2” of wet snow. Sucks tent camping and trying to stay warm

We have lots of turkeys, got to get up there. Busy lately

My buddy, his son and son-in-law killed three gobblers in the last two days in Alabama, he said the weather was great.

May 1st is the opener around here. We've had it snow in May but not very often. Usually not even below freezing during May but there is still a chance of a frost warning right up until the latter part of May. I recall that because I used to wait until late May to set out tomato plants.

You hunting all three states? I've done a two state (WY, MT) for mulies in the fall and gobblers in the spring with Mike Watkins from Trophies Plus out of Alzada, MT. My guess is you'll be in that same area. Getting your birds shouldn't be much of a problem.

About 1/3 rd of the time in Michigan there's snow on the ground for a couple days here in Michigan....been that way for the past 45 + years.....

Did a two state swing last year. Had a great time. Adding Montana this year.
