Fields are good. Expect quiet birds sneaking in.

Wide open areas. Fields, power and gas lines. When it rains it takes away one of a turkey's 2 main defenses. His hearing so left with only sight they avoid cover and generally go to open spaces.

Once it stops raining they will gather in the fields to dry off. They can be a bit challenging to call off the field. So be patient.

It's common to see turkey in the fields when it's pouring down rain. What turkn8rtrapper said.

If you know the roosting areas hit them if it’s raining prior to daylight...most likely the birds are roosting in wooded areas even if it’s raining, that much you know..after they leave the roost while it’s raining I’ve always had a hard time locating them...just my experience...also they tend to stay a bit on the roost when it rains...

Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......
Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....
