Snow
« on: April 27, 2014, 07:09:10 AM »
In the NE corner for Turkey's.  Anyone have any tactics for hunting in the snow?  Right now all we can think of is driving around looking for tracks

They are still roosting.  We are almost at "white out" conditions right now at 3200 ft.

Give them about an hour after it quits snowing and they will get busy feeding.

We are at about the same elevation.  It started to let up, but now is snowing harder.

At 7:20am 6 Jakes and one long beard walked along a creek line and stayed in one spot puffed up not strut and just stayed there, not feeding no hens. In about an hour they moved along the field line and into the woods. Not one gobble last night or this morning.

Had the same problem a few years ago on opening weekend. We woke up to 6" of snow up above Chewelah so we hopped down into town and hunted some state land that was lower in elevation with no snow and whacked great bird.

Kevin, we took your advice and scored.  One of the guys in our group was on his 1st turkey hunt with a brand new gun and we called this bird in front of him at 8 yds.

I was in the snow also.  I thought it would stop but the longer it went the less sound the birds made.

Rain doesn't seem to slow down the breeding all that much, but that snow put the breaks on. Once the weather cleared it was game on.
