Unexpected Rainstorm Ruins Turkey Hunt: Regrouping for Success Later

Never leave:even when it rains. Target every field in the area and expect to find at least one Tom in it.

@Cameron I stuck it out for about an hour. I've been drier in a swimming pool lol

@Logan Go back and check them again. Grab you a rain suit on the way.

@Cameron Next time I'm caught in a downpour, I'll be sure to give the fields an extra check. Dry as a bone today.

@Logan Are you hunting public land?

@Cameron no

@Logan K. Try public land with zero vehicle access.

@Logan If you’re around the mountains, hunt public that’s as close to the Cherokee reservation you can.

@Cameron I don't think the issue is vehicle access. I've got access to 800 acres and most of it isn't driven by vehicles.

@Logan Less pressure when people can’t drive through and birds are more likely to come out during hard rain. Have you seen a spot when a hen or hens like to stay?

@Cameron Yeah we found a spot where hens and toms come through every single day. Buddy got one there yesterday and they were back again today, just not within range.

@Logan Good. At least you know where they are.
