I’ve always found birds to be a lot more willing to play the game with little rain and wind. Too much of either can definitely turn them off but a steady drizzle and 10-20mph wind is a day I have a lot of confidence in!

Calm and cool is too noisy to move around on them. I know it’s nice for those with good hearing to be able to hear the birds but being more than half deaf hearing turkeys isn’t something I can do until they’re about in range.

I like a good thunderstorm just before dark when they are getting ready to go to roost. This seems to scatter them up a bit, and they seem more  likely to come in quickly. 

This, exactly.  Thunderstorm, downpour, followed by calm clear.  At 2000 feet you can hear every gobbler for a mile at false light.

I just want to enjoy the woods, nothing about sitting on the ground in a damp drizzle does that for me no matter how much it ups my odds....I doubt i'll be out more than a time or two. Too many other things to do with the nice weather later in May

Best answer yet! Had the boat out on the river yesterday for a shakedown run. Just waiting on some ice at the ramps to finish and I’ll be salmon fishing!

I was in a boat on Champlain 2 weekends ago.  There was still some ice floating around and the water was too damn cold for active fish (34-35 degrees) but we did give it a go and land one laker.  I'm shooting for next week with my little boat to look for salmon in shallow.

As long as it's not raining, I don't care if it's sunny or gray. I flat out don't like hunting anything in the rain. A slight breeze, but I'm not much for a hurricane.

 

I actually have a fishing trip planned during May this year. I could/can hunt where we're going, but I probably won't bother lugging the hunting gear for the trip.
