Doesn't look like great hunting weather for opening day. I will still be out there but sure wish the rain would hold off. What are y'alls tactics for rainy days/low barometric pressure days?

Saturday looks great here. Sunday is 50% chance of rain. But I have looked at the hour by hour.

The only thing I do different than any other day is hang the wet bird up and allow it to dry before taking pictures.

Here's saying high chance of rain Friday high chance of rain Sunday and my two days to hunt are Saturday and Monday
Saturday is supposed to be in the low 80's in Middle TN. Rain possible Sunday.
I've never turkey hunted. This will be my first year (@ 52 years old). That being said, my tactics are to walk out in the back with some camo and the stick/slate thingy and make some "turkey sounds". If I SEE one I'll be thrilled. If I shoot one, I'll be that annoying "Turkey expert" next year.

I was asked what kind of shells I was using. I said "red ones" @Hduke86 is hookin a brotha up.
Lol they could possibly be turkey loads until you post up a pic of the SHELL and not something else then I assume it was going to be 7 1/2-8 shot lead lolI was just informed I was about to hunt with clay target loads

If it rains I'll nap or go fish. Anymore I'm not fighting bad weather whether its rain or wind.

I may still hunt in adverse weather, but I'm with you. I've gotten to the point where if it ain't decent weather I don't want to go. Because if it's bad weather there is a greater chance I want be able to call one up like I want to. Weather it be too windy to hear him or what not.

I have an 835 and a 535. The 535 was the first dedicated turkey gun I ever bought. So I bought the 3.5" Winchester Double XX Turkey shells, I think I shot two or three of them and said no more. That 535 is a shooter but it is the hardest kicking gun I have shot.

Around here, I just change up how/where I hunt. If bright sunny, they seem to prefer to stay in the woods. Rainy/windy, they hit the pasture. My weekend is a bust...can't hunt till Monday. I will most likely setup at the wood line. See how it plays out.
Screw it....I'm huntin with my bow. That way, WHEN I miss I'll have something to blame ("he was just outta range")

My 835 was the only dedicated turkey gun Iv ever had, before that I just used my duck guns, but it will stomp you. But as long as I'm able I'll shoot it I reckon. Other than turkey and geese I don't shoot 3.5, but I did see that hevi shot came out with a 3in dove shell!
Last weekend was the same slide into poor weather and it was the most turkey action I've seen in a dozen years. I'll be out there grinning ear to ear waiting on the pitch down
