Default RE: Rainy days

I am a self taught turkey hunter learning asI go. I've shot 6 turkeys in the 9 years I've been hunting these crazy birds and none of them have been in the rain, although one was ina foggy morning and onewas early morning after it had just quit raining. It's not because I don't go out in the rain. I'll go out in ANYTHING. Rain, wind, snow, I've sat through them all. During our four week season, I typically am able to hunt 3 days a week from start to noon finishand then pick up one or two2 hour hunts before work during midweek. I am blessed that I have several different areas to hunt. So I am out there all or part of 4-5days/week for four weeks. I've called in jakes and hens in the rain, but I've never seen a gobbler. I mostly visit fields in the rain because that's what I've been told to do. I've never seen a mature gobbler in the field in the rain. I've tried the woods too, but so far no success.

I'm not going to let rain keep me from the woods, but yes, my success rate is horrible in the rain.
