RE: Rainy day Question
I bought a cheap, after-season clearance blind from Walmart this Spring for 2 reasons; 1) a 5-yr old daughter who just has to go turkey hunting with her papa, and 2) rain soaked days I can sit in a water resistant blind and stay dry!!
From my experiences, the birds move to open areas, and are call shy during rainy days. Sit on a field edge, or a small secluded draw (open strut zone or sheltered forest), put out the dekes and wait. Patterning is the key to those days...
I won't go out in thunderstorms though. My experience with boomers is this...all of the woodland creatures simply disappear...and the woods explode immediately after...
