I think it comes down to YOU< do you want to hunt in high winds and have a more challenging hunt
or would you rather just wait for a better day to hunt them

as turkeys are out there 24/7 its not like they stop being turkeys and hide all day due to winds

there just more on edge, alert, , you don't have the advantages of being able to hear them talk as much, due to winds covering up there sounds

but if you wanted to hunt them in the wind, you can,
just keep in mind winds can effect shots if strong enough gusts to move your projectiles, be it lead shot or likes, or arrows/bolts!
Wind will change point of aim pending how strong and far the target is!
if you never practiced in HIGH winds, , then maybe your better off sticking to closer shots or just passing till better weather is about for you!

I personally don't hunt in high winds or heavy to moderate rains anymore, for anything, I guess I got old and have more time to pick better days , but I also know we all don;t have that option, so? as I said, its your call!
turkeys are still out there
