For me what a bust super hard winter most likely lot of winter kill.

Haven't seen a gobbler at all a few hens.

Lots of snow on the ground in this part of the state. Went out at day light nothing at all.

Major snow storm coming in 6 to 12 inches on the way started snowing hard at 7am.

Its been one heck of a winter and still coming.

Which county are you hunting in? I hunt down in Rock, and drive by the property I hunt every day. Our snow is all gone, but I am not yet seeing birds out srtutting in the fields as I normally would by now. The birds are there (we didn't get nearly as deep a snow cover as the counties north of Hwy 8) but it seems like they just aren't yet "in the mood." I have a couple weeks until I hunt, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Snowing like a bitch here.No signs of Turkeys.I got a third season tag so might luck out with the weather but am not counting on it.

I'll be hunting zone 3 in Wood County…No birds on trail cameras yet. Should have em figured out by the time my dates come around in May. I hope!

Boy, I definitely feel sorry for you guys up north!!

We got maybe 3" of wet snow in Minneapolis over freezing rain, my buddy in Duluth reports 8" of snow. Hope it thaws soon.
