Headed out tomorrow morning. Weatherman says rain and cold. Do the birds com off the roost about the same time as if it were a sunny morning? Should I sit on the edges of the fields or go down into the woods before first light?
thanks!

Turkeys hate rain. They’ll sit out in the fields and not move.

Fields or clearings If you have a blind, set it up out in the middle...turkeys could care less. If you have decoys, use them.

The rain stayed away. We parked our trucks and got ready to head to the back fields. As I was locking my truck my buddy told me to look to the East. There was a Tom roosting about 40 yards from where we stood. Decided to head out and leave that Tom for later. Hunted for 3 hours with no results except watching a beautiful sunrise.

I've killed a lot of Turkey's in the rain. Turkey's love to walk fields for worms and other insects in the fields. It seems to me they come off roost a little earlier in the rain than they do in the sunshine.
