Ugly weather for the opener

[turkeygirl]

Ok, so this is what the National Weather Service website has given as weather for the day befor and day of turkey season in my part of NY:

Saturday: Periods of rain, mainly before 3pm. High around 51. East wind 13 to 16 mph becoming west. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

Saturday Night: Rain showers likely, mixing with snow after 3am. Mostly cloudy, with a low near 39. West wind between 15 and 17 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Sunday: A chance of rain and snow showers before 9am, then a chance of rain showers. Cloudy, with a high around 47. West wind between 14 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%.


What do you all think my best chances are, in terms of set-up and finding turkeys? I would suspect this is going to keep some hunters in which will allow me to move around a little more. Would sticking to fields probably be the best set-up? There are several fields I know turkeys go to in the rain but the problem is deciding which fields to set-up at. What are the rest of you in NY doing Sunday?

Yup, head to the fields. Freshly plowed ones are usually the best bets. Thats where I will be...at least until the thunderstorms chase me out.

Thanks buck! LOL yeah when I'm out turkey hunting and I hear thunder, I practically run to the car or home! Last year I was standing on top of a gravel pit in the morning listening to gobblers when the thunder came, I ran down and sat in this big John Deer loader all morning, got some shut eye,lol. I did see a hen come out.

I vowed never to take off on the opener ever again. Everyone and his/her brother will be out that day!! Tuff enough trying to get a gobbler away from some hens, yet alone competing with other hunters!!
After tuesday, I'm off for 8 days!! I'll be sure to get into it big time then!! Be sure to dress accordingly, with Rain in the forcast for the next few days, it might be tuff sledding!!
