Default RE: Rainy days no good?

I was out on Monday from before sunrise until the end of legal shooting time, Noon here in VA. It was raining lightly the whole time and I didn't see or hear any turkeys that day. I was setup in a hardwood bottom in one of those pop up blinds. The only thing that I can say is that the rain hitting those nylon skinned blinds makes a lot of noise when you are inside of it calling and waiting. I definitely feel that I wasted my time by not choosing to hunt in an area I should have known to be a better choice, which was the powerline open area on my land. I have learned to not hunt areas that are not open during the rain.

One thing I didn't much care for was getting my gun soaked on the way out. The weather forecast didn't call for rain until the afternoon, so I'm upset that they got the morining forecast wrong. Next time it calls for rain I may think twice before going out.
