Where to find turkeys this weekend

[Turkeygirl]

So even though it is going to be windy and rainy Saturday, I'd like to go out and give the birds a go. Of course they are the turkeys on the home gorund that don't seem to be too consistent where they roost. i went out like on Monday to look for them, found tracks from the neighbor driving through the woods on his tractor and aTV, so I didn't see any turkeys. With the wind and rain, where should I look? Fields? Ravines? I'm figuring with cut corn, they will be hitting those fields. The corn fields near one of our deer stands i have not seen nay sign of turkey so I don't think they are in that one but I know of another corn field I haven't checked that might be where they are. Any input is appreciated!

Fields. Fields. Fields. Turkeys love to hit the fields during/after rainstorms. It aides with being able to see a predator approaching from a distance and it's a great source of food. The cut cornfields might be a good bet as there is usually some leftover grain on the ground. Good luck!

Fields..........yep.

Might also check any open beech or oak flats you know of. Turkeys are pretty comfortable in open woods, too, on a windy, rainy day. Doubtful you'll find them working dogwood thickets or grapevine tangles when the weather's crappy.
