Temperature effects

[Yoder409]

Should be hearing birds from the house this morning.  But I'm not.  Beaks are probably froze shut.  It's 25 degrees.

I'm thinking that barometric pressure might be a factor.  But who knows? They got a mind if their own.  As they say,  they're just being turkeys. I have noticed or maybe just a coincidence,  sometimes when they gobble a heck of alot one day they might the next day or so. Again who knows?

 Document: The date, weather=Temp, pressure, wind (night of/morning), humidity, precipitation, how is spring evolving.

In ten years you'll see a pattern.

I have tracked several strutters in snow. It depends too on where your hunting.

P.S. turkeys in Virginia are starting to gobble again. Again, if you are to document things like this while hunting you will see why this happens every year.

Day after a good storm with some sun are my favorite days to hear gobbling birds...

Late in the season, after the birds seem to start losing interest in breeding (hens have been on the nest a while), I have noticed very often an increased interest in breeding.  My theory is that eggs and or nests are often lost in a storm, and some hens out there will start breeding again?

Couple cold days followed by a warm day, I hear increased in gobbling...  Couple hot days followed by a cool day, I feel like I hear more gobbling.

When highs break the 90's here, I feel there is a significant drop in gobbling and breeding interest (usually towards the end of the season).
