Default Wet weather turkeys...

Picked this up off a perodical put out by the NWTF.Thought it was good helpful information...
Wet Weather Turkeys....
Some hunters don"™t realize that the few hours just after a rain can be an ideal weather condition for hunting turkeys. In wet weather, try setting up at field edges and waiting for the rain to stop. Turkeys love open fields after a rain. Not only can they peck for bugs that have been forced from shelter, the open country allows them to dry and preen their feathers.

Opening week of last spring it rained all week....made for some difficult hunting if you didn' t have the right gear i.e; doghouse blind or raingear....I won' t let it get the best of me this spring if it rains again....bought me a Stearns two piece rainsuit in advantage timber camo with hood to keep me nice and dry. I thought they might be a little noisy, but with limited movement (anyways), it shouldn' t be a problem and I won' t sacrifice concealment. The turkeys were out during the rain....I just couldn' t get ' em to come in for a shot. I' m prepared now...bring ' em on.

If you want to stop any noise from a rain suit, put a light weight camo over top of it. It may get wet , but your dry under the rain gear and it quiets down the noise...BT
