Here's my weather for each day so far.

Day 1 Cold and fog
Day 2 rain
Day 3 fog
Day 4 frigid cold with wind
Day 5 blowing snow
Day 6 frigid cold with 2" snow on ground and freezing fog
Day 7 white out freezing fog

Miraculously I've killed 2 birds here but the weather is absolutely a joke it's so bad. I'm tired of being cold, lol

Preach brother!! My feet are frozen right now and I've got enough clothes on I can barely move. Been recreationally climbing this morning to try and stay warm
 
Other than my hands I haven't been cold. When it was 26° the other morning I just wore my deer hunting jacket and gloves and brought hand warmers. I guess turkeys get the blood pumping hotter than waiting for a deer to show up. Lol

I've only hunted two mornings due to the weather. I don't want to burn my limited time hunting in bad weather.

The cold doesn't bother me except for my feet, but they are a lost cause. With the heat I generate after a good walk, I can sit for an hour or more in just my pants, t-shirt, and camo vest.

I did sit out Saturday because of the wind.

I much prefer these type mornings than hot and humid.

I love hot and humid and would take it over this cold crap
 
As terrible as it has been, turkeys have actually gobbled decent on the limb each morning. This morning it really kicked into high gear up high though. Clear, cold and calm this morning. Decided to listen from one of my highest perches to basically take inventory on a side of the mountain I have not hunted yet. Heard 4 different Gobblers on 4 different points gobble good till just after flydown. Had to be back at the house for a hay delievery at 11:00. Decided not to "engage" today, but going to introduce myself these next couple of days sure'nuff ;)

I'd agree with you. Roost gobbling has been strong and bird numbers seems okay. After fly down it's brutally tough though.
 
Middle TN has been great except for this past Saturday. That's the only day the weather affected the birds in the 8 days of the season I've been afield. Even on Saturday as cold and windy as it way, we still managed to eek out 1 bird. Overall, there has been the steady decline in population, but because there are so few hens left, the gobblers have been going crazy this year. I've literally seen more male birds than female birds.
 
Serious rain this weekend for the LBL quota and another temp drop. Sucks!

Looks like another great weekend.... At this rate I will have to take some vaca. I can't catch a break with the weekend weather and I work M-F, so hunting is out most of those days.
 
Haven't updated this ina few days, but here's my last 3 hunts. Friday hurricane force winds the entire time, Saturday again 40 mph sustained wind, Sunday monsoon rain and hurricane winds.

I didn't have the balls to go this morning. Lol
 
My latest Stewart Co weather was pouring rain at gobble time on Sunday and then wind/some snow the rest of the day, and then snow and 15mph wind this morning. Zero gobbles either morning/day. So much for global warming.
 
:roll: Was outside few hours ago spraying my hunting clothes down with tick spray......while it was spitting snow and sleet.Should be toasty in the morning.
 
Today was brutal. First time in a long time, I had to leave the turkey woods because I was not prepared gear wise. Should have left the house this morning in my full rain gear to deal with the unpredicted friggin sleet storm i had to endure. Left the truck before daylight to climb up to a listening spot, and then the white out began. Two hours straight of less than 10 yard visabilty. Got ice down my back and could not shake the chills. Had to end up coming home to thaw out. Decided to use today to lay around and recharge.
 
I've been 1 morning this season because of the weather.
Hunted 2 evenings after work that I should have stayed home due to hurricane type wind.
I am really hoping for a dry Saturday as that's the only morning hunt I can get in each week.
Fingers crossed.

Today was the first day the weather actually kept me from killing a bird.

Had 2 gobbling like crazy on the roost with my 10yo set up at their flydown spot. We set up at 515, so had to sit there over an hour before gobble time. They gobbled like crazy despite the spitting snow, but today was the one day they refused to fly down until 8am. By then my daughter was frozen like a popsicle, and she just couldn't handle any more. We left them still gobbling on the ground, and it almost killed me.

I went back to that bird 3 hours later with my 9yo nephew, and he was still answering every call. Unfortunately he gobbled up a coyote who ruined the chance at his first bird. Miserable day for us, but the turkeys were still doing their thing like it was nothing at all.

Today looks like another jewel, lol. There's 3" of snow in the mountains and it's 29 degrees with a wind chill of 22. I'm up and going but starting to doubt my own sanity.
 
Hunted all day.....not a peep. Not even an owl, but made one crow sound off at me, only crow I heard today too. Cold, crisp morning with blue skies.....the kind of mornings I usually hear the most gobbling. Nothin. Sitting here waiting for fly up and nothing. Shaddowed 5 birds the last 2hrs and the hens didn't even yelp. Just a weird day. Squirrels and chipmunk are good though. Lol
 
Birds were gobbling like never before all day today in middle TN. Trying to keep a 9yo boy still enough to get one in range was a totally different matter. As much as I hate blinds, I may be forced to pull one out for him to have a chance
