Turkeys and cold front?

[Turkeygirl]

So we got a cold front overnight here in NY. I was going to go out in the morning, but since I have a class, I didn't. I just got in from doing barn chores and it is 40, but is cold, wet from the rain, and a little breezy. Tonight we are looking at frost and around 30 degrees. How is this going to affect the birds? Not that I have been hearing any gobbles anyway,lol, but is this front going to shut them down or what? Also, since I don't know where this tom is, would it be a good idea tonight to go where I last heard the birds roost which is in the area where the gobbler was the first two days? I'm assuming 4 days later, if no one else has hunted on the land, he should be back in the area with his hens? Where the tom had been was near an open swamp and the one night I heard birds roost and the next day saw them fly down into this open swamped and then they started making a b-line straight for where I had heard that tom gobble that morning off the ridge before he got spooked. Whether he was with those birds, I don't know, but I am assuming possibly. Thanks and good luck everyone!

Re: Turkeys and cold front?

Ruth, cold fronts always make turkeys shut up. I have found that when the barometric pressure drops substantially over a short period of time, the birds don't do much talking if any.

If it is rainy, the brids will be tearing up the fields.
