Wind and rain tips

I was out last fri and mon and it was windy as heck, gusting to 50km/hr or more. Found the birds stuck to the woods, which didn't help me because the farm I'm hunting is open pasture with tree lines. The bush is on surrounding properties so my only hope was to get them moving between. Hoping when I go out next week they are out in the fields like I'm used to seeing them. I did have a tom gobbling and strutting for 45 minon Monday but he would come closer than 100 yards (ie next tree line). Happy hunting.

exactly how last Saturday played out for me.

Gotta feel sorry for all the guys who passed up hunting on the the opening weekend because of the weather, forecast is BRUTAL!

Heading out early this afternoon in the rain, according to weather network the sun should pop out between 5 and 7pm. Should be hunting.

All my dreams of the Stanley Cup went down hill as usual when Leafs decided to take an early dirt nap. lol

Never went out Tuesday morning in the rain and when I checked the trail cam pics today o'le tommy was right out front about 10:30 after the rain quit for a bit. I've shot more birds right after the rain sitting against a tree with the 4' square tree umbrella. Went out for a mid afternoon sit and a walk today but notta. Maybe tomorrow.
