Yeah, I'm a fair weather turkey hunter. I actually enjoy the second half of the season better than the first. Just seems as though I have had more luck in that time.

Trial153 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 It's so Green here already that the second half of the season will be worthless. They should start mid April and run for three or four weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKhunter Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Can't make it out until the weekend of the 14th.....Can't wait to get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris B Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Rain or shine I will be out there. We only get a month so I put forth my best effort. If it gets too miserable, I'll change locations and hunt my ground blind, located in a hedgerow, in the center of all the fields 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LET EM GROW Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I love hunting the rain, Ive killed many birds in the rain, even in straight up downpours.. ill sit for awhile during the rain. We have several fields they tend to hang out in and around during rains. so i concentrate on them. Im guessing being in an open field they can hear a little better, plus the worms and such are coming up through the soil id imagine..

jjb4900 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 just went from a 90% chance to a 60% chance......yeah, no way I'm staying home based on a weatherman's prediction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 With so many calls that are made from wood, as well as call surfaces, rain is their worst enemy. Not a fan of rainy weather myself. Rather wait for better weather and also weekdays. Season starts on Sunday, many are obviously off, not a good situation to be in to work a bird alone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat First Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yes rain or shine I'll be out. Waiting since gun season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerpassion Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Picked up a blind at dicks yesterday due to the crappy forecast , I'll sit it out nice n dry n see if they come out to the field Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 My daughter going with so I hope we don't get too wet getting to our blind. Also sitting over a field in hopes of field mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooly Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 The field I've been watching over will be surrounded by neighbors. I could never get permission to hunt there anyhow. Now that I know where they're roosting, and with a little luck, them gobblers will never make it to the field. One more move of the blind tomorrow, and I have a olive drab tarp to stash up there in case starts coming down too hard I can drape it over the top to stay dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critter4321 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I wish you guys and ladies the best of luck Sunday with my health I would be in the hospital by Tuesday so I'll be staying home with the misses until the rain lets up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adkhunter1590 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Rain or shine I'll be out there. Haven't decided where I want to hunt yet....hit the state land birds opening morning and leave my resident gobbler behind the house alone until Monday morning. Or just get after the one behind the house because I can't stand to listen to him gobble at me one more time.

genesee_mohican Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 A turkey opener on the weekend with light winds and a little rain. I'll be out with full rain gear, set up near an area where a few toms roost. The birds will be headed to the fields and it should be fun. The rain will get the leaves nice and quite, which will help if one needs to relocate and make a move on a bird. Good luck and be safe everyone.

Doc Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Well, good luck to all of you. I am not a turkey hunter anymore. This time of year I have more on my plate to do than I'll ever be able to accomplish as it is. But for all of you that are into hunting the turkey-birds, I want to wish you all luck. And by the way the military gave out wonderful things called ponchos that have to be available at some surplus military store somewhere. They will keep you adequately dry-ish. Even in a downpour you should be able to keep things manageable. Go git them critters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieNY Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I have 2 ground blinds facing fields, Rain or shine, they are warm, comfortable, and dry to hunt out of, When the mosquitoes come out, I hang a thermacell in the blind to get rid of them. Both of my blinds are extra large blinds which hold 2 adults comfortably, and I usually hunt with my adult son out of them. Only problem during the rain is that the "pitter patter" of the rain hitting the roof of the blind makes me fall asleep in the blind, and I have to concentrate on staying awake!
