Nope. They will still be out there doing there thing. I have hunted when it was snowing before and heard them gobble and watched them strut. I have killed them several times with frost on my boots.

My son Mason killed one a couple years ago in KY's Youth Season with close to 2" of snow on the ground. They gobbled their brains out and put on a show before he took the biggest. I am more concerned about the eggs than I am anything else. I have seen a lot of hens going to and from potential nesting areas.

Turkeys will do what turkeys do every day that turkeys do it.:D To far into the breeding to change things. They might be a little tight lipped but sooner than later ole mother nature will be telling them they better start gobbling or their snoods are going to shrivel up.:eek: I'd be more concerned what will be happening to eggs already sitting in the nest.
They're gonna do what they're gonna do. Real cold weather might have an effect on the amount of gobblin' you hear, but other that, should be alright. Looks like the weather is gonna clear up by the middle of next week anyway.
