Turkey Hunting in Snow

[Spyderman]

For the first time in my approximately 25 years or turkey hunting, I'll be hunting in snow tomorrow. We're supposed to get about 6 inches overnight. Any advice for chasing gobblers in the snow?

Dress warmer. In the few instances I hunted them in snow not much changed. They still acted like it was spring. Now if its windy and cold it seems to slow them down a bit. That's been my experience anyways.

I killed one about 20 years ago in the high mountains of southwestern pennsylvania. Woke up to a coating of wet snow on may 5th....... the at turkey had about 10 hens and gobbled his head off on the limb. They flew down to me and I drug the lead hen right into my lap with all the others and the stutter bringing up the rear.  I killed him at 20 yards with the rest of the hens closer still.

The hardest part is trying to hide against a big oak coated in wet snow. I felt like I was sitting on the yellow line of a highway. No way to hide. How they did not pick me out I will never know.

I have hunted them almost every year in the snow except a handful the last 20 or so years.I just dress warmer and hunt the same.

They may stay on roost a little longer. If the sun comes out it will be like nothing ever happened.

Yesterday it was snowing while driving in the dark to the turkey woods. Once I got parked I decided to sleep in the truck and wait it out. Woke up at 7:15 to a fresh layer of snow and clearing skies. Hunted like I normally would and tagged out at 9:00. All the snow was melted by noon though.

A little advice from Frank Zappa that I strongly advise.

"And she said, with a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go,
And don't you eat that yellow snow."

Good luck out there!

This is when turkey chairs shine vs cushions,,being up off the cold ground really adds comfort.

I have hunted in the snow in Wyoming and see no difference in behaviour.

Ditch your regular camo and use a white sheet.
