I dont think the weather has a thing to do with it.  Lengthening of days triggers it.   It might get the toms to gobble a little more but it dont change the hens biological clock. Mother nature has a way of taking care of things  :icon_thumright:

Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.

on this thread i was refering to the effects of warm temps on a Gobbler not so much on a hen. i realize that longer days bring on the urge to breed and set for a hen. but on these warm days in Feb. when the temps get in the 70's for a day or two it does change the mind set of the gobblers
