hunting in the rain?

I find it best to stay at home or in the camp during the rain. Now an hour or two after the rain stops is an altogether different situation.

Can you kill them in the rain? Yes, sometimes and somehow.

Is the rain enjoyable for you or the turkeys? No.

Do you stand a chance of placing added pressure on your birds in the rain? Any time you are out there, the chance of pressuring them exists.

silvestris, how would you say pressured birds act/react, and how does that effect our hunting these birds?

Anytime you allow a turkey to know that humans are in his environment you have increased the difficulty of calling him. They don't like us and will give us all the room we want. As Kenny Morgan said once when describing the actions of a gobbler one morning, "when I called, I discerned a look about him that indicated that he was likely saying to himself, 'that might be fraud'."
