VTbowman Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Ok I will be honest. I did not do a search on this topic so just answer the question if ya know it. I have been wondering how the wind, rain, mist, fog, etc will effect turkey movement and if its worth going or not. I thought I remember reading that they will be huntable in slow drizzle and rain, but can't remember if it was good hunting or marginal at best. Does mist or fog keep them from moving far with limited visability? Wind mess with there hearing so they stay put? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borch Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Re: Foul weather turkey hunts? It's always worth heading into the woods unless it's not safe to do so(lightning, high winds tornados). I've had some of my best hunts in a light to moderate rain. Wind probably affect turkey more than the other factors. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobblers don't lose their drive to service hens when the wind kicks up. The hunter just has a hard tim hearing them go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Re: Foul weather turkey hunts? I have found that when it is rainy,windy or foggy, the brids stay on the roost until it clears up. This is because they know a predator could sneak up on them in the fog and because their hearing isn't very good when it is windy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
