Last two days we've had some pretty hot weather, does this effect if toms or jakes gobble back? Been trying to locate them, there being tight beaked. If so, how should we hunt them in this hot weather?

We had a cool snap where it would be in the upper 30's and the gobblers really started gobbling and coming. My theory is that the warmer it is then the less time the hen has to stay on the nest. The less time she stays on the nest then the more time she is with him. The more time she is with him then the less he has to gobble. When it is cold out she has to wait longer up in the day before she can leave the nnest so he might gobble more. When it warm she can just hop up and run to him when the sun gets up and hits her nest. That is just my theory because I think I have heard turkeys gobble better on cool mornings after some hot day, but then again who knows what maeks them do that. I have heard turkeys gobble in every tree a hundred times a day for a week it seemed like and then all of the sudden you would go several days and hardly hear anything. I have no idea what provokes them to do such.

Not sure how the heat affects them, but I've had some great hunts when it's hot out and some bad ones when it's cold.
