BM, I don't know what they do down there, but up here when it gets cold they go on a major feeding binge but usually try to find the easiest feed available that expends the least amount of energy to obtain. They key in on cattle feed lots and feeders (if feeders are legal and used in your area). The cold really zaps their metabolism and they have to eat more just to keep warm enough to survive. Up here if it's cold for a few days the turkey hunting doesn't get much easier. It's almost like going to the store and picking which bird you want because there is 100% they'll be on the feed lots.
