Turkey Weather (Video Included)

Wade's World Hunting: My all-time favorite condition for turkey hunting is under a high pressure system.  A high barometer makes gobblers want to gobble.

Conversely, I avoids days with gusty, high winds. High winds will send turkeys into the bottom of hollows, making it hard to not only find them, but to hear them.

A lot of hunters go back to bed if they wake up to a rain, I think that is a big mistake.

A gentle rain will bring turkeys out into freshly plowed fields, where they will rummage for insects. Conversely, a hard, cold rain is a good reason to stay home.

However, one of my most memorable hunts was during a thunderstorm.  It was a gentle rain with loud claps of thunder that made the turkeys gobble like crazy.

My advice? Just go, rain or shine.
