Maine Hunting Seasons
What are some good tips for hunting turkey in rainy weather?
I hunt in maine and it isnt too too rainy but in the turkey season up here there is rainy weather. do i hunt like i usually would? or are there any other tactics i should use?… I have a blind set up in a corner of a field just about 3-5 feet in a tree line. Also this is my first year so any other tips would be wounderful, such as calls, sents, camoflage, or anything else you think would be important. Thanks and good hunting,
I stay in bed, But when I hunt I try to get them Close to when they first fly down, before they go to the fields. set at the edge of the woods and field. They don’t talk even if you shock them and even when they are in the roast.They come back in the woods early usually in the pines and not their normal hardwoods. Calls for a beginner is a box call they work even good for experienced hunters and are easy to wok. Turkeys can not smell. but can see well even colors and smallest movement. so blend in with dead falls or trees and have shoot lanes and cover.don’t over call your first call if the bird calls back he know exactly where you are. Use decoys, this make a hot bird come in when he sees them and looks at the instead of looking around and seeing you. Turkeys can see and hear ten times better than a deer. Always shoot at the top of the head never body shoot. Try to shoot when his head is up not while in a strut. Use a turkey or full choke. Keep your shots within 40 yards. Good luck and have fun When you hear your first gobble you will be hooked.
