Opening day in the bluegrass state was windy 12 to mph winds. Tried 3 differnt set up's and decoys blown over at one. Only saw 3 hens, 2 jakes and a bobcat. Two set up's where in open filed and one on a old logging road. I firgured that the birds would be in more open areas due to wind.
Good Hunting.

Thats ok it was just the first day. You will have plenty of time to fill your tags.

Got mine first thing Saturday morning... It wasn't to bad then.

I set up about 7:00 and had a lot of actvity around me. Called four toms in and took this one. They came running to my decoys. I hunt in Bracken County by the way.

RJP,

Interesting - I always do the opposite by looking for draws, hollows, and low-lying fields surrounded by trees - places turkeys can get out of the wind.I always heard that itis hard for a gobbler to strut in the open when it is real windy.

I managed to bag a silent gobbler with hens & Jakes @6"48am Saturday morning. It was surprisengly nice at that time, sun commin up & just a light breeze. But by the time i got home, it had clouded up & become windy & colder! The weather this week looks much better.

RJP - I do the same as mouthcaller.......lee side of tall pines, hollers, etc.
