Default RE: Turkey hunting in the rain ..waste of time?

The first turkey I took was in a pouring rain storm. Raining and blowing so hard I asked my self 100 times, "what the heck am I doing here!" I was hunting on a mountainside, far away from any fields. I had roosted the bird the afternoon before, it roosted early as it was blowing about 30-40 mph. That bird flew down in the pouring rain, not until an hour and a half after daylight, don't ask what I was still doing there! He came in gobbling and strutting like it was a perfect day out! I go every time I can, I've taken them in snowstorms also. Most times I find in bad weather they do come in silent. Like said before, they carry on their day to day activites no matter what the weather. They don't always leave the roost first thing in the morning though during inclimate weather. Good Luck!!
