airedale Posted Thursday at 10:10 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:10 PM 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.

landtracdeerhunter Posted Friday at 01:23 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:23 PM (edited) 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.

Hock3y24 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 21 hours ago, First-light said: Can't see picts? You get him? Interesting, yes. I thought I missed cause he was right over a rock wall and all I had was his head, so I ran over to check cause another bird was comin hard, carried him back pulled decoys and sat down, the other bird came out 5 mins later. I hunted all morning sat, struck up 8 gobblers, 2 came in and different times, saw the Jake decoy and bolted. Gonna bring a youth hunter to that spot Sunday, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
