Picture the perfect spring turkey hunting day and it would be something like this: vivid blue skies, crisp air, and a hint of wind to keep the bugs at bay. Reality is rarely so kind. Instead, a typical spring turkey hunt might feature lightning, sleet, wind, or enough rain to drown a duck.
The good news is bad weather doesn’t mean bad hunting. The secret is to deal with it head on. Analyze the conditions, determine how they will affect turkey behavior, and adjust your strategy appropriately.
Next time you head for the turkey woods, take some wings with you—not the BBQ kind, but a real turkey wing from a past successful hunt.
