Charlie, earlier in the week prior to my hunt, the temps were pushing 90 until a cold front pushed through last Friday morning. The mornings were in the mid 40's but by noon it was 70 so from daylight until 10:30 the action was slow and quiet. From 10:30 on, the action and the temp heated up.
These birds in this area have always worked best when hot. For the last six or so years, we have not had much of a winter. And in turn it seems to have affected the spring turkey hunting to where they haven't been in the normal roaming, vocal, breeding mode. They have been silent for the most part every year. This year, we are coming off of a normal, long winter and the birds seemed to really be back to their normal vocal, roaming patterns.
