When it rains the woods pours Turkeys.

When it rains hard around here it is a pretty good bet the local Turkeys will be coming out of the woods and heading into more open areas. I believe they feel the rain and wind in the woods makes for conditions that take away to some extent their keen senses, I think they feel safer in open areas where they have good vision of their surroundings. I have these guys patterned pretty well. Bottom line, if I still hunted Turkeys I would be hunting the edges of woods on rainy days.

This is only..turkey that has shown up on cams this spring, far and few between at my sisters in 9a.

I believe the same. I also think the food sources are more plentiful during a good rain, out in the open. Especially in open areas on sod where worms and grubs come to the surface. A smorgasbord of good eating. In late July through September, the turkey walk my second cutting hay fields in search of grasshoppers which are plentiful.

This guy has been hanging around my food plot all week. Shows up at all different times. I'll hunt him Sunday and Monday. This is a hen in second picture correct?

I overslept my alarm clock this am, got in my pa bling at 6:05, immediately heard a gobble, they were in the woods avoiding the field. Dead at 6:15 lol. Had another come in right after.
