I'd take a blind to stay dry and happy and maybe even decoys ( ) and sit there calling every 15 minutes or so in hopes they would show. Then I would post on OG that I sat in the rain, with no decoys, only yelped three times on a homemade wingbone or better yet, a blade of grass so that others would accept me as a turkey hunter, not a cheater.I would just claim I went to texas and shot it at 250 yards with a 22-250.

You're not a real rifle hunter if you use a 22-250, I thought you knew better.
Quote from: NJstrutter on April 13, 2015, 11:28:16 PMWhen it rains I definitely see more birds in the fields, especially in the morning. The times that I have hunted in the morning and it was raining the majority of times the birds seem to stay on the roost longer and then hit either nearby fields or open hardwoods. I have heard that the birds feel safer in these open areas. Not sure if this is true, but I have been told birds will also be more likely to hit open fields to feed because a steady rain will saturate the soil causing worms and other insects to come to the surface.
