Worried about our turkeys in PA

[longbeards]

West Virginia has had its coldest winter since 1978. Lots of snow and a good bit of ice. Saw a large flock feeding in trees at my place last week,,,,they had to be eating buds that where sprouting.

Western PA had a good melt over the last couple of days. Hope it helps.

Man, Listening to you guys talk I'm glad I live in Florida. It was 85 degrees here in Jacksonville yesterday.

We are looking at highs in the teens next week. A couple weeks ago it was 30 and it felt like sun tanning weather after weeks of sub zero temps. On the bright side ticks shouldn't be a big problem this year!

Lots buds on tree for them to eat ,,, we had a melt down here but no ground showing still good 2 ft on the ground with lows down round 0 next week well have solid block ice on the ground now

I read that in areas that are subject to flooding, where the ground is covered with water for long periods of time, the birds can last for weeks foraging on the trees themselves.  The cold may present a problem but they are tough.  It's amazing how nature has it covered.  I live in Idaho and our birds endure bitter below zero cold and snow deeper than I like to think about but they always seem to be around come spring thaw.  They are amazing!

we had some snow melt but its got a long long way to go...instead of a turkey vest I may want to rig up a snow sled...camo, saddle bags, cushion, drag rope, decoy straps its all planned out lol

Tough here in central NH as well. I have seen a few birds, but not as many as I would like.
They are tough. God built them well.

Hang in there fellas the birds seem to find a way to survive,not sure how but they do.

A buddy found two dead turkeys on his place last week here in West Virginia.  Most of the snow is gone now so those that survived can find something to eat before the next wave off bad weather comes through this coming week.

Well I did some scouting today it was some tough walking with all the snow but I found a lot of turkey tracks from what I seen looks like they were feeding around black berry bushes and a lot in the corn the game commission had planted even though I didn't see any cobbs or kernels. It also looked like they were feeding around some green briars. can't wait for the snow to melt more so I can scout for real
