Why Do Turkeys Stop Gobbling?

As the temperature increased, gobbling decreased. The average barometric pressure affected gobbling activity, as well. Lower pressure, often associated with rain, meant less gobbling. Birds were most active at 29.9 to 30.2 inches, and when the pressure fell below 29.7 inches, gobbling activity decreased dramatically.

Why do gobblers go silent?

WHY GOBBLERS GO QUIET

But many days, you can easily pinpoint factors that create silent woods. Bad weather, for example, can turn previously vocal birds into voiceless wraiths. During hard, soaking rains, longbeards often feed or hunker down in open areas, seemingly uninterested in strutting or gobbling.

Why do turkeys gobble some days and not others?

Some days, turkeys gobble from dawn to dark. Other days, they don't gobble at all. Why? The easy explanation is that they're unpredictable.
