Having said that some places like Wyoming or New Mexico you may never get to hunt if you wait for the wind to die down lol
I'm not so sure if wind is that big of factor on killing a turkey. As far as not hearing them that is true, or not as good as a non windy day. I can tell you in Montana the wind blows hard everyday and I have killed a lot of birds when the wind is howling. I wait till I call between gusts and call then. Lol If we waited till the wind never blew, we would never get out to hunt here.
I also like to hunt evenings here because wind does go down and is more pleasant hunting then verses wind. This year I harvested my turkey about 6:00 pm.
