RE: Turkeys and Wind???
I hate hunting in a strong wind. This season has been extremely windy. Yes, it does affect how the turkeys act. I have killed a few in high winds, but just a few. Probably the worst thing about hunting on windy days is that it's hard for you to hear the turkey. He could be only 100 yards away gobbling, and you may never hear him. Their hearing is impaired also, but they can still hear you further than you can hear him. On very windy days, try hunting low areas such as bottoms or valleys. Anywhere they can escape the high winds and feel safer. You can kill turkeys on windy days no doubt, you just need to be a little more observant and patient. If the wind is blowing 25 or more, I usually just stay in, but not always. I did though, kill one last year with winds gusting to 30-35. I just got lucky I guess. He was close enough to where I could hear him. Go ahead and give it a try and good luck. I would rather be out turkey hunting in the wind than sitting at home.
