buckbuster11 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I like hunting them right after a rain. They all start pouring out into the fields after a good rain, thats primetime right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobie Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Re: What do you prefer I have to agree that some of the best hunting is right after a rain storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maytom Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: What do you prefer I hate hunting in the rain for anything. I'll wait till either it stops, or hunt another day. I want to enjoy my hunt, so not being miserable in a rain is what I'm after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeviShot Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: What do you prefer Don't forget about right before it rains.Animals seem to feed up before it comes.We had a gully washer down here the other day and they say it's going to do it again this weekend.

Strut10 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: What do you prefer Whichever. I guess if I had to pick, I'd say in the dry. Their feathers don't get as messed up when you shoot them on a dry day. Makes a nicer picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: What do you prefer I prefer hunting them right after a rain, not in it so I choose to be sort of a fair weather hunter for turkeys. Turkeys are apt to stay in the tree when it is raining in the mornimg down here. It also limits what calls I can use and drastically limits what I can hear with all the noise from the rain. I hardly ever turkey hunt in the rain anymore. The only time I do is if I'm already hunting when the rain starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] LOL...some of my best birds were killed in the rain. I had the gobbler strutting behind a hen as she fed towards me...he had a hard time keeping his tail fan straight in the hard wind. One of those days that I didn't think was worth going out in....but it paid off. Rain or no rain...can't kill 'em sitting on the couch!

huntn4bucks Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: What do you prefer If I had my preference, I would prefer to turkey hunt when it's dry...but then again...I also love to hunt in the morning just after an overnight rain. I primarily hunt the mountains and woods so the added moisture to the leaves and ground helps me to slip through the woods really quiet. If it's raining first thing in the morning when I get up and it's not suppose to clear up, you can bet that I'll stay in bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbeard Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: What do you prefer Dry for me, although you will find me in the woods during a thunder storm. Dem gobs sure do gobble at thunder. You probably have a lot of fields where if it rains they go and you can see 'em better. Here in my neck of the woods, they tend to stay put when it's rainin. We do see them in the fields too, though.

Covehnter Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: What do you prefer Cant beat those nice warm blue bird days when it seems like every bird in the woods wants to gobble his brains out but the rain doesnt bother me. I've got alot of fields that i hunt and the rain pushs them all right out in them so i can have a peak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironranger Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: What do you prefer I like any day in the turkey woods with the exception of when it's pouring rain with heavy winds and lightning. Then it's time to head for the truck. They sure do head to the fields after a night of rain though and I've taken a few the morning after rain. Preference: I like a sunny morning and really calm so you can hear them gobbling all over the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borch Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: What do you prefer I prefer a nice cool calm morning. Although I don't mind a light rain. I just don't like it when it's pouring out. Borch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: What do you prefer hate huntin in the rain. It would be better if i had some rain gear, but thats just not the case.lol. I pick dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderhunt4 Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Re: What do you prefer Two of my biggest gobblers were in the rain...missed another one once in the rain too! I like huntin' in the rain cause there aren't so many hunters willing to hunt that hard. I have the woods to myself...plus most everyone knows birds head for the fields which makes it easier to find 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Re: What do you prefer I don't mind hunting in the rain but most turkeys around here like to get out in open fields and are hard to get them away from the hens. Although I have had alot of good luck deer hunting in the rain,I would rather hunt in the dry, sunshine filled day than rain, for turkeys.

Nut Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Re: What do you prefer It is wet and windy here today. I thoughtas I was out that if it was a turkey hunting day I would stay in. But I also thought of a few places that was out of the wind I could hang out and stay dry in my turkey woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konfuzed Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Re: What do you prefer In the dry or right after a rain. Unless I am bowhunting deer, then I like a nice easy drizzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
