The big snowfall February 14 may be bad news for turkeys.
According to one turkey hunter who has chased the wiley birds around the state for several decades, the snow could be bad for the wild turkey for several reasons.
One possibilities is the fluffy snow may be too deep and too soft for the birds to move around, keeping them stationary and unable to feed or escape predators. Conversely, it could keep the coyotes, bobcats and similar predators away. Another problem could result if the deep snow keeps the birds from being able to get to the bugs and shoots on the ground for an extended period of time.
Only time will tell.
