Fields. Loud calling to locate birds.

If its raining and thundering in the morning I'd stay home.

A good, high pitched long box to cut through the noise. Once you get their attention and moving toward you, it's like any other turkey hunt. Turkey don't stop being turkeys because ofa little wind.

The worst thing about hunting in a strong wind is your inability to hear. I promise you the turkeys can still hear your calls. Maybe not quite as good, but they can hear better than you think. On awindy day, I hunt just like I would on any other day. I just concentratemore on listening and looking, just in case one sneaks up on me without me ever knowing it. They can do that even on a calm day.The turkeys aren't really going to alter their normal routine, unless heavy rain accompanies the wind. On very windy days I have had more success in the timber than in open areas.

if its gonna be a heavy rain that night hit the fields. turkeys dont like wet leaves cause they cant hear things approaching them as well so they will stick to open areas where they can use their eye sight to their advantage.

Stay alert. With high winds and thunderstorms, the birds are likely to come in silent. Setup in a field you know hold birds, call a little louder, and wait them out. Unlike you, the birds can't go inside and back to bed...they will be out....just not near as vocal.

Turkeys hear a lot better than us, butdon't be fooledthat high pitched calls work better. I find the opposite is true and that I get a lot better responseand can close thekill more with a realistic sounding box call. Stay in one spot, don't get discouraged and move from place to place, More than likely, a bird might be closing in on you without you knowing.
