Question about turkey

[Jeremy K]

How long can a turkey stay in the tree for ,I know the time they fly down can vary but say like right now when everything is under 20 inches of snow and frozen ,will they say fug it and stay in the tree?

Not sure but when this heavily laden with water snow freezes tonight it will be especially tough on deer and turkey.   This is when your neighborhood shrubs get destroyed by the deer.

Rupert will enjoy walking ON the snow to shit instead of through the snow only to come back and crap in the driveway.

Past about 8" of Snow- all Turkey walking will cease. They can stay in the Trees a long time. Fly tree  to Tree to reach Creeks,Spring Seeps ,conifers where they can fly down and find food.

   Tough,Smart Big ol Birds.

Is a long time in days or weeks?
