The recent cold and snow we are getting now will be killing off some, our hatch last spring did'nt seem that good around me, might be slim pickins on 2 year old gobblers again next year because of it...........

I agree with Lung, the numbers are low in my area.

I shot a couple turkey chicks last September before I knew how mild the winter would be on them. I wanted to help thin them out and help the rest eat, didnt know it would be so mild. Oh well at least I took a couple off the coyotes plate. And they sure were a hit brined and smoked at super bowl this year

Around here we've had three hard winters in a row and has lowered the turkeys numbers pretty bad. We will need a few more winters like this one to bring it back to the way it was. I do think we will see more jakes this year.
