Default Cold drizzle stinks!

Took a couple days off work to turkey hunt with my wife.


Thursday, 45-50 and while not raining, everything got wet, just one of those days. 5 hours of run and gun, not a single gobble. That includes seeing two on the edge of a field, that I know heard the calls.


Friday, nicer, actually saw blue in the sky, warmer as it went. Got a couple far off gobbles, ran into one that was going completely nuts in a field, before we even made a sound , he was gobbling non-stop, we blew that when we got to close and he saw us (probably should have stayed way back and brought him to us, oh well), Made a run around where he went into the woods and came at him from the other side, got him going again and he bagged us just before coming into range.


Saturday, repeat of Thursday, weather and silence


Is it 'normal' for them to be 100% silent during cold wet weather?
