Default RE: Barometric pressure and turkeys

Hey BT,

Nice suggestion. I'll just also add that with any barometric change, animals in general will start reacting. Related to barometric change, relative humidity also changes, which is usually why most calls (I'm assuming BossTom was referring to friction type calls) change their tone.

The best hunting I have is 30-40 deg F, clear sky, high pressure with a slight Northerly breeze with low RH (~25%) immediately following the departure of a soggy warm low pressure system.

Not sure if it's the shift in barometer, relative humidity or clear skies, but boy the birds will gobble great after a low pressure passes...
