Spring Turkey

Living between the ocean and the Chesapeake bay, we deal with windy days (20-30mph) throughout the season. I have found that metal topped pots, long boxes and tube calls seem to cut the wind quite well. If a gobbler is looking, he will respond just as well on windy days as calm ones. The biggest drawback is that you won't be able to hear them gobbling or coming in as well. Hang in there

But wind often puts them in predictable locations (Lee side) and covers movement
 
Planning on going out tomorrow morning and trying to make it happen. It will happen just not sure when. Tomorrow is almost perfect conditions with an under 5mph breeze, clear morning, and 40-50 degrees. Hopefully tomorrow is the day.

This weekend might work for me to try that

Yup, once the hen leaves the tom to lay her egg he is very vulnerable. Like Michael said, late morning is prime time. Heather and I are back in the Black Hills. Saw several birds today early but very quiet the rest of the day. Raining all night into the morning. Good luck,
