    This Saturday is opening day here in Virginia, I've hunted turkeys off and on over the years, but never when they are calling for snow and cold temps....lows Friday Night 27 high 45....Will that effect the Gobblers has far as Gobbling on that day, or if they ready...they ready... and will responded to calling etc...

    Thanks

    Shouldn't, some of my best calling action was when there was still snow on the ground/early in the season. Being early yet, you should be able to get a bird to come in gobbling though.

    Biggest tip I can give you is don't always assume they will gobble. A lot of guys get caught up in what they see on TV. I would say a good 60-70% of the birds I've gotten or had come in never gobbled or gobbled 1 time and then came in silent. Sit tight, be patient and do not move because all of a sudden there he is coming in.

    good luck bud
