Congrats Zach......they didn't gobble where I was at, but, I wasn't setup 70 yards from one either. That makes a big difference.

About a 1" of snow at home...
Dude I almost literally froze this morning wow. I haven't been that cold in a long by time. I wouldn't have been able to shoot one had I seen one anyways due to violently shivering for an hour lol

Worst weather I've ever hunted in. 31 degrees blizzard like conditions high in the mountains. Birds gobbled well on the roost, hit the ground and silence. Normally I would've sat it out waiting for a gobble, but decided my life was more important. I was frozen when I reached the truck. If I see a weather man around town we are fighting, since this is their fault. Lol

I've never been so happy to see my truck. My feet are still cold and I've been home for almost 2 hours. Brutal and wish I never got out of bed
Haha same here I kept thinking "this is stupid I should have stayed in bed" then an hour later I was so cold I had enough. My hands were totally numb and my face was so frozen my nose was running everywhere and didn't even realize it till I got to the truck hahah

My face was so cold that my jaws didn't open and close properly, so a mouth call was a struggle. But my hands were useless, so a slate call wasn't really an option either.
Temp is up to a balmy 36 here at the house. Reminds me of a deer hunting day that I would have all of my warmest clothes on.

Cold, spitting drizzle didn't bother me much, as I left the house this morning in full, warm rain gear. It was the damm fog that stayed all day up high that sucked. Been cursing the wide open hardwoods all week, but today it was the lack of visibility that killed me. Got tight on one gobbling good on the limb right at daylight. Googans were getting restless down below, trying to figure out how to climb up to him. Waited till he finally pitched down and clucked at 'em twice. He cutt me off with a double gobble and came 75 yards fast out to the end of the lead I was on. I was just off the nose around 30 steps. Fog was set in thick and kept me from being able to fully see him at 31-32 steps :x Could hear him walking in "wet" leaves and hear him drumming hard, but could absolutely not make 'em out to kill 'em. Gobbled hard twice at that distance before drifting down off my left side. Googans finally had figured it out and began there barrage of never ending yelping and crow calling as they climbed up towards me. Turkey had went silent, as both he and I could hear these a$$hats coming from a mile away. Two of them, about 200 yards straight across from each other, coming up the nose behind me, trying to out yelp each other I climbed out the way I had come in, careful not to spoke the Gobbler anymore. Stuck around high above them for a while to see if he would crank back up, but he never did.

Lol at cowhunter. I had googans this morning as wheel. Riding 4 wheelers stopping every 100 yards and doing this sequence. Crow, owl, yelp over and over. Googans call more in one hour than I do in a season.

Yessir, the famous big "three". Crow, owl, 27 consecutive yelps, followed by a single cluck, ride or walk a hundred yards, and repeat :super: Makes them real easy to keep track of, which is a good thing

I don't get that kind of entertainment on public land around here.

I checked the weather for Lincoln Co on Sunday morning.
Going to be 29 degrees, feeling like 24 degrees.
Debating whether to dig out all the cold weather gear, again. But reading your guy's comments, I'm inclined to say No.
