Any tips for extremely cold weather? How does it affect turkey hunting?

Don't put all your warm clothes on right away in the mourning. Put them in the back of  your vest, tie them around your waste, or what ever. Wait until you get to your destination to put the outer layers on. You'll perspire less especially if you have a long distance to travel. Your under layers will be dryer and you'll stay warmer through out the day.

The wind will be the bigger issue than the cold. I don't think cold snaps affect where they are in their cycle. It's not like gobblers break off hens if it snows, or hens break off nests when it's cold. The cycle is pretty straight forward. Whatever they were doing today they'll likely be doing in a few days. I think wind and rain affect them a lot more than cold snaps. Studies show they tend to gobble more on cold mornings than when it's hot. When they're on and going it's hard to knock them off that pattern.

Headed to Black Hills in 2 weeks. Seems it'll be pretty cold 34 - 50. Good to hear that it's not to much to worry about. Maybe first time I hunt them in snow.

Killed a big gobbler once after a snowstorm on mother`s day. Came in quiet. Get out and hunt! Good luck!
