Question

Have not done much turkey hunting in the rain and tomorrow morning looks to be pretty wet. Anything you should do differently when it is raining?

Find a field and put out a full strut decoy
and get in a blind

:super: this. I've set and watched turkeys just sit down in the middle of a field during a rain.

Turkeys tend to migrate to more open areas during and after a rain, in particular a light steady rain. When I am not hunting, which is rare, I like to ride around and do a turkey inventory of sorts for the general area to get an idea of what the population is. Good luck with your morning, it looks wet for a lot of us.

Like others have said, they will go to open areas. However, when it's a heavy rain, they will head towards a stand of pines to ride it out. As soon as it stops, they will head back out to an opening and preen themselves.

I hunted in the storms on Wednesday and had an awesome hunt. The gobbler stayed in the field during the rain and hammered every time it thundered.

Did they look up at the sky?

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the info!

catch up on sleep for me. I'm not sitting in a tent

 

[Gravey]

Sleep in. I don't hate them that bad to go out in the rain. If it quits then hit the fields.
