Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations podcast, your guide
0:05
Speaker 1: to the fundamentals of better deer hunting, presented by First Light,
0:09
Speaker 1: creating proven versatile hunting apparel for the stand, saddle or blind.
0:14
Speaker 1: First Light Go Farther, Stay Longer, and now your host
0:19
Speaker 1: Tony Peterson.
0:20
Speaker 2: Hey everyone, welcome to the wire to Hunt Foundation's podcast.
0:22
Speaker 2: I'm your host Tony Peterson, and it's Turkey Week here
0:25
Speaker 2: at mediater so I'm talking long beards today, but more specifically,
0:29
Speaker 2: just how to hunt this spring, whether you're dealing with
0:31
Speaker 2: beach weather or conditions. It'll make you want to stay home.
0:41
Speaker 2: All right. It's the first day of Turkey Week here
0:43
Speaker 2: at meat Eater, and if you're on social media at all,
0:45
Speaker 2: you're going to hear about it a whole bunch. You'll
0:48
Speaker 2: probably also see that First Light has a new Turkey
0:51
Speaker 2: kid out in a pattern called dark Water that is
0:53
Speaker 2: pretty dang sweet. If you're the kind of person who
0:55
Speaker 2: likes to put his back to a tree and yelp
0:57
Speaker 2: your heart out. You'll also probably hear that we are
0:59
Speaker 2: running a Turkey Week sweepstakes where you can win a
1:02
Speaker 2: Texas turkey hunt in the spring of twenty twenty seven.
1:05
Speaker 2: For three people. Now, if you've never hunted rios, trust me,
1:08
Speaker 2: this is going to be a fun one. They are
1:10
Speaker 2: beautiful birds. They gobble their heads off all day. You
1:13
Speaker 2: can be a hell of a lot more fun than Easterns.
1:15
Speaker 2: If you win, you'll get a prize pack worth over
1:18
Speaker 2: thirteen grand, which includes a hell of a lot of
1:21
Speaker 2: killer hunting gear. Well how do you win? Head on
1:23
Speaker 2: over to the medieater dot com and just buy something.
1:26
Speaker 2: The more you spend, the more entries get dumped into
1:28
Speaker 2: the bucket, and someone is going to win, So why
1:31
Speaker 2: not you? All Right, Now that that's out of the way,
1:37
Speaker 2: it's time to talk turkeys. This is a show I've
1:39
Speaker 2: been thinking about for a while because I realized how
1:41
Speaker 2: much you know the different conditions and weather shape my
1:44
Speaker 2: approach to turkey hunting, kind of like how different conditions
1:47
Speaker 2: and weather shape my approach to all hunting and fishing.
1:50
Speaker 2: And just like all hunting and fishing, instead of using
1:53
Speaker 2: weather as an excuse to not go, learning how to
1:55
Speaker 2: use it to your advantage is a better option because
1:58
Speaker 2: then you get to go turkey hunting, which is better.
2:00
Speaker 2: And whatever you do when you're not turkey hunting, So listen, up,
2:03
Speaker 2: because here we go. Let's kick this one off by
2:06
Speaker 2: doing a little thought experiment. When I say, think about
2:10
Speaker 2: deer hunting this fall, what is the first thought that
2:13
Speaker 2: comes into your mind? Is it something that involves being
2:16
Speaker 2: in a stand or a blind during the peak of
2:18
Speaker 2: the rut? Did your mind sort of instantly go to
2:21
Speaker 2: the best scenario with deer hunting, you know, the time
2:24
Speaker 2: you just love the best. How's the weather in that scenario?
2:28
Speaker 2: Probably nice and cold and crispy, and just the kind
2:31
Speaker 2: of thing to get the bucks really moving. Now, let's
2:33
Speaker 2: try the same thought experiment with spring turkey hunting. Just
2:37
Speaker 2: think about it for a second. Think about your hunt
2:40
Speaker 2: this upcoming spring. My guess is you pretty quickly put
2:43
Speaker 2: yourself in a blind in a spot you love, or
2:46
Speaker 2: maybe you're back to a tree somewhere and the birds
2:48
Speaker 2: are gobbling, it's greening up, and let me guess, the
2:52
Speaker 2: sun is shining and the wind isn't blowing too hard,
2:55
Speaker 2: and it's as good of a day to hunt turkeys
2:57
Speaker 2: as it would be to go sightfish some bedding large mouth.
3:00
Speaker 2: But what happens when we actually go hunting. I'm convinced
3:04
Speaker 2: that at least half of the time I head to
3:05
Speaker 2: the field or out on the water, the most challenging
3:08
Speaker 2: thing I'll face is the weather. This would be a
3:11
Speaker 2: good time to insert some saying about how the weather
3:13
Speaker 2: here in Minnesota is unpredictable as it gets, but that's
3:16
Speaker 2: just pure silliness. Everywhere you go, the locals say the
3:20
Speaker 2: same thing about their weather, except for maybe anyone living
3:23
Speaker 2: close to the equator. The rest of us Vitamin D
3:26
Speaker 2: deficient pale hairless monkeys deal with unpredictable weather all the time,
3:30
Speaker 2: which means we are very likely to deal with that
3:33
Speaker 2: during turkey season. And just like with deer, the turkeys
3:37
Speaker 2: just do their thing no matter what the weather is doing.
3:40
Speaker 2: And if we understand how to work with that, we
3:42
Speaker 2: can kill long beards no matter what Mother Nature gives us. Now,
3:46
Speaker 2: I know we all want those bluebird skies and those
3:48
Speaker 2: calm winds and all the beautiful sunlight waking up the
3:52
Speaker 2: world and getting the food chain in motion, both by
3:54
Speaker 2: feeding tiny, weightless packets of energy to plants but also
3:58
Speaker 2: raising the air temperature enough to get the insect life
4:00
Speaker 2: really going. But we often don't get that. If you
4:04
Speaker 2: have a long turkey season and enough time to get
4:07
Speaker 2: out there, you probably don't worry about this much. You
4:10
Speaker 2: can pick and choose your dates and use the forecast
4:13
Speaker 2: to tell you when to hunt. But a lot of
4:15
Speaker 2: us have schedules that just don't allow for that. And
4:17
Speaker 2: if you have, you know, kids that are in a
4:19
Speaker 2: stupid amount of activities, you might only have a weekend
4:22
Speaker 2: or two to put them on a bird let alone yourself. Plus,
4:26
Speaker 2: it's hard to argue against the benefit of sitting in
4:29
Speaker 2: the woods trying to call in a tom versus not
4:32
Speaker 2: sitting in the woods and not trying to call in
4:34
Speaker 2: a tom. So what can you do when the forecast
4:36
Speaker 2: calls for something less stellar than you'd like? Well, adapt
4:40
Speaker 2: use it to your advantage. Let's start with a for
4:43
Speaker 2: sure weather condition you will get if you have a
4:45
Speaker 2: turkey hunt enough wind wind sucks for almost every outdoor pursuit.
4:51
Speaker 2: I probably mind it the least while deer hunting because
4:54
Speaker 2: it does give me some real advantages there, and I
4:56
Speaker 2: probably hate it the most while fishing for obvious reasons.
5:00
Speaker 2: In between those two is high winds wild turkey hunting.
5:03
Speaker 2: Way back when I was in high school, a buddy
5:05
Speaker 2: and I pulled into a parking area on a chunk
5:08
Speaker 2: of public land in northern Missouri, well before first light. Now,
5:12
Speaker 2: as soon as I got out of his truck, I
5:13
Speaker 2: heard the hissing sound of air going from where you
5:16
Speaker 2: wanted in a tire to where you don't, which is
5:18
Speaker 2: no longer in the tire. We had a quick conversation
5:21
Speaker 2: and realized that since you could only hunt till one PM,
5:24
Speaker 2: we'd changed the tire when we got back, so we
5:27
Speaker 2: split up and we headed out with the wind absolutely
5:30
Speaker 2: whipping across the land. I didn't do this on purpose,
5:33
Speaker 2: but I ended up dropping into a valley and sneaking
5:36
Speaker 2: along in a low spot where the wind wasn't quite
5:38
Speaker 2: as obnoxious, and as gray light started to permeate the
5:42
Speaker 2: world around me, I stopped next to a hillside that
5:44
Speaker 2: sort of banked off the valley I was in, and
5:47
Speaker 2: then I looked up into the trees and realized two things.
5:50
Speaker 2: The first was that I was very close to a
5:52
Speaker 2: hell of a lot of roosted turkeys, and the second
5:55
Speaker 2: was that it was damn near dead still where I was,
5:57
Speaker 2: despite being able to hear the wind roaring over the
6:00
Speaker 2: hill above me. I'm sure I've put my ass on
6:03
Speaker 2: the ground faster while hunting, but I don't remember, when
6:06
Speaker 2: I do remember a tense ten sit there waiting for
6:10
Speaker 2: those birds to start hitting the ground, and the absolute
6:13
Speaker 2: rush of walking up on a public land bird with
6:15
Speaker 2: a big old rope beard and the longest spurs I
6:19
Speaker 2: had ever seen on a tom Those birds weren't roosted
6:22
Speaker 2: there by accident, And it would take quite a few
6:25
Speaker 2: fall turkey hunts back in Minnesota to get me to
6:27
Speaker 2: realize just how much wind plays a role in where
6:30
Speaker 2: they roost. To figure this out, where you hunt, take
6:33
Speaker 2: into account the wind direction, and then imagine what you'd
6:36
Speaker 2: have to do in order to sleep in a tree
6:38
Speaker 2: but not constantly be hammered by the blowing air. Turkeys
6:42
Speaker 2: are masters of knowing where these spots are, and if
6:45
Speaker 2: the wind is set to blow all night, they will
6:48
Speaker 2: roost in a place that's advantageous for them. But you
6:51
Speaker 2: might not have that spot on your hunting ground, and
6:54
Speaker 2: what if it's supposed to be windy all day. Let
6:57
Speaker 2: me put it this way, turkeys are not curious. They
7:00
Speaker 2: are cagey, and this is because a hell of a
7:02
Speaker 2: lot of stuff tries to eat them all throughout their lives.
7:06
Speaker 2: In addition to the fact that for several weeks each spring,
7:08
Speaker 2: we try to shoot them in their faces. They don't
7:11
Speaker 2: seem to handle a lot of unpredictable movement in the
7:14
Speaker 2: woods well, which is what the wind causes. They also
7:18
Speaker 2: don't seem to like not being able to hear a
7:20
Speaker 2: whole lot either. Duh. Now, you might think, well, that's
7:24
Speaker 2: the same as deer, but it's not. An animal that
7:27
Speaker 2: uses its nose as its primary defense against predators is
7:30
Speaker 2: an animal that is far more comfortable in the wind
7:32
Speaker 2: than one that doesn't, and turkeys don't. The hard part
7:36
Speaker 2: about this is that turkeys in windy weather aren't super
7:40
Speaker 2: likely to call much. You know they're gonna sound off
7:42
Speaker 2: on the roosts, but often when they hit the ground,
7:44
Speaker 2: they'll go where it's calm and they won't say much.
7:47
Speaker 2: This makes running and gunning really tough, because if you're
7:50
Speaker 2: not in the red zone, the odds of getting a
7:52
Speaker 2: response are low, and you're very likely to have to
7:55
Speaker 2: work with several birds, even during the mid or late
7:58
Speaker 2: season when they should be more scattered than not. Turkey
8:01
Speaker 2: hunting in the wind is a game of patience, and
8:04
Speaker 2: it requires you to identify the spots that would allow
8:06
Speaker 2: them to have some respite from it and then get
8:09
Speaker 2: in there and hope your instincts are correct. Now, you
8:12
Speaker 2: certainly will see birds out in fields that are just
8:15
Speaker 2: doing their thing, but generally they'll be tucked in on
8:18
Speaker 2: a field edge or somewhere that offers some protection if
8:20
Speaker 2: they can get it. No matter what, if you hunt
8:23
Speaker 2: when it's really blowing, pay attention to where you see
8:26
Speaker 2: birds because their response to those conditions today is very
8:30
Speaker 2: likely to mirror their response to those conditions in the future.
8:34
Speaker 2: High winds aren't much fun to hunt it until you
8:37
Speaker 2: figure out how to work with them, which is pretty
8:39
Speaker 2: much the same thing as hunting in the rain. I
8:41
Speaker 2: have a complex relationship with turkey hunting in the rain.
8:44
Speaker 2: Then I'm almost ashamed to admit, but I will anyway.
8:48
Speaker 2: It's almost like cheating to turkey hunting the rain. But
8:51
Speaker 2: there's nothing that looks worse in photos and videos than
8:54
Speaker 2: a wet gobbler. I know, I know, I literally have
8:57
Speaker 2: influencer in my job title. This doesn't make me feel great,
9:01
Speaker 2: but the truth is, if you don't turn everything you
9:03
Speaker 2: love into a job like a total moron, you can
9:06
Speaker 2: just go turkey hunt in the rain and live with
9:07
Speaker 2: the consequences and on this front, I view turkey behavior
9:11
Speaker 2: and dear behavior almost exactly the same. It's missing out.
9:15
Speaker 2: Oh good, get out there and fill your tag. Raining lightly,
9:19
Speaker 2: Oh good, get out there and fill your tag downpouring
9:22
Speaker 2: so hard you can hear them building an arc somewhere
9:24
Speaker 2: in the distance. Oh good. Stay home and have a
9:27
Speaker 2: cup of coffee and chill out, and plan to get
9:29
Speaker 2: out there before the rain lets up, so you can
9:31
Speaker 2: be there when the animals feel that same relief. Most
9:46
Speaker 2: people who have turkey hunted a little bit have probably
9:49
Speaker 2: noticed that a light rain brings the birds out into
9:51
Speaker 2: the open. I don't know if this is because the
9:53
Speaker 2: woods just get a little too claustrophobic to them, considering
9:57
Speaker 2: they just can't hear or probably see quite as well
9:59
Speaker 2: in the rain. It could be as simple as they
10:01
Speaker 2: expect worms to come out in the rain and they
10:03
Speaker 2: want to eat them. The reasons for the behavior might
10:06
Speaker 2: never be truly known to us, but knowing that the
10:09
Speaker 2: behavior exists and it's very reliable is really all that
10:12
Speaker 2: matters here. If you have the chance to hunt a
10:14
Speaker 2: light rain, do it. They are often visible and often
10:18
Speaker 2: very callable. Just don't be surprised when your trophy photos
10:22
Speaker 2: look like you killed a soggy black chicken instead of
10:24
Speaker 2: a twenty five pound former dinosaur with knife blades on
10:27
Speaker 2: his legs now Ken, you killed birds in a downpour,
10:30
Speaker 2: you sure can. Quite A few years ago, I slipped
10:33
Speaker 2: into a chunk of timber in southern Minnesota to hunt
10:35
Speaker 2: a ridgetop with a logging road on it, mostly because
10:38
Speaker 2: I was avoiding going where I really wanted to because
10:40
Speaker 2: somebody else was already parked there. It was pouring, and
10:43
Speaker 2: by that I mean the kind of rain where you
10:46
Speaker 2: were just soaked within like five minutes of being out,
10:49
Speaker 2: and if you don't go home and dry off and
10:50
Speaker 2: oil your gun up, you'll regret it very soon. On
10:54
Speaker 2: my very first setup of that morning, with my gun
10:56
Speaker 2: over my knees pointed down that logging road, I about
10:58
Speaker 2: couldn't believe it when I saw two redheads bobbing my way.
11:02
Speaker 2: It was the first day of my hunt, and when
11:04
Speaker 2: I saw that they were jakes, I did something I
11:06
Speaker 2: almost never do, which is I let them walk right
11:08
Speaker 2: up to me without taking the safety off. Now, in
11:11
Speaker 2: their dumb, juvenile brains, they finally formed a thought that
11:14
Speaker 2: something didn't quite seem right because I hadn't even put
11:17
Speaker 2: out a decoy, given I didn't think i'd call in
11:20
Speaker 2: any birds and was mostly killing time. So they turned around,
11:23
Speaker 2: and that was when the thought of who I really
11:25
Speaker 2: am as a hunter hit me across the side of
11:27
Speaker 2: my head like a sock filled with nickels, and I
11:30
Speaker 2: buried the bead of my old mossburg on one of
11:31
Speaker 2: their necks. And that was that much later, while bow
11:35
Speaker 2: hunting turkeys up here in the Twin Cities, I had
11:37
Speaker 2: a flash storm roll through that took me from nearly
11:40
Speaker 2: perfect turkey weather to sitting in a blind in a
11:43
Speaker 2: total downpour. I had a bird just gobbling his head
11:46
Speaker 2: off below me the whole time, and I knew where
11:49
Speaker 2: he was. I knew he was strutting on a little
11:51
Speaker 2: two track, and I knew that I could probably sneak
11:53
Speaker 2: up there and get a lot closer to him. So
11:55
Speaker 2: I grabbed my bow and popped in a mouth call
11:58
Speaker 2: and did just that. They not only did I see him,
12:01
Speaker 2: but while I was glassing him and trying to figure
12:03
Speaker 2: out if I could call him up the road and
12:05
Speaker 2: draw without getting busted, I noticed a little whack a
12:08
Speaker 2: mole situation directly in front of me. A whole flock
12:11
Speaker 2: of hens was bedded in the grass along the little
12:13
Speaker 2: logging road, and occasionally one of them would pop its
12:16
Speaker 2: head up, look around, and then it would just disappear.
12:19
Speaker 2: I got to watch those birds do what birds often
12:22
Speaker 2: do during a heavy rain, which is just sit tight
12:25
Speaker 2: and ride it out. That Tom couldn't help himself and
12:28
Speaker 2: was strutting for some of the birds that were farther
12:30
Speaker 2: down the road, but the ladies weren't having it. The instant,
12:34
Speaker 2: and I mean the instant that I felt the rain
12:36
Speaker 2: downshift in gears, all of those birds stood up, and
12:40
Speaker 2: I had a few brief moments of chaos before that
12:42
Speaker 2: Tom came right in and I not only shot some
12:45
Speaker 2: feathers off his back, but absolutely barrowed my arrow into
12:49
Speaker 2: a tree right behind him, which sent the whole flock
12:51
Speaker 2: in a direction that did me absolutely no good. Heavy
12:55
Speaker 2: rain is a bitch, but it often comes with lightning
12:58
Speaker 2: and thunder. And while I'm I'm not telling you to
13:00
Speaker 2: stay out there and get fried, I'll tell you this.
13:03
Speaker 2: Every time I've been out turkey hunting and a thunderstorm
13:05
Speaker 2: has rolled in, that toms have gobbled their heads off.
13:09
Speaker 2: Not never did me much good. For calling them in,
13:11
Speaker 2: but it's always pretty cool to witness. It's also true
13:15
Speaker 2: that if you know where they are going to roost,
13:16
Speaker 2: and you are dealing with some level of rain and
13:18
Speaker 2: maybe thunderstorms, you can bet your ass that they'll get
13:22
Speaker 2: back and stage up to roost earlier than they would
13:24
Speaker 2: if it was beautiful out. In a lot of states,
13:27
Speaker 2: you can hunt until sunset, But if you do that enough,
13:31
Speaker 2: or you glass enough birds in the preseason, you'll see
13:33
Speaker 2: that they often don't fly up until way way after sunset,
13:37
Speaker 2: which means they don't get that last good period of
13:40
Speaker 2: movement in before shooting light ends. That's not the case
13:43
Speaker 2: in nasty weather, though, and it's something you can use
13:45
Speaker 2: to your advantage. Hell that's how I arrowed my bird
13:47
Speaker 2: in Minnesota last year. It was supposed to rain on
13:50
Speaker 2: and off all day and be cloudy and gloomy, and
13:53
Speaker 2: I figured that the birds that had given me the
13:54
Speaker 2: slip so far would show up early enough and be
13:58
Speaker 2: callable enough. I ended up arrowing did just that, and
14:02
Speaker 2: he gobbled while coming in from a long ways off.
14:05
Speaker 2: He was just getting to the roost early because of
14:07
Speaker 2: the conditions, And it was a fun sit and at
14:09
Speaker 2: least I believe made possible by less than ideal turkey weather.
14:13
Speaker 2: Of course, I can't really talk about hunting turkeys in
14:16
Speaker 2: the weather without just talking about temperature. Real cold sucks,
14:21
Speaker 2: and we get it up here in Canada South a
14:23
Speaker 2: lot when it's supposed to be super cold. One thing
14:26
Speaker 2: I notice is that the bird's default back to their
14:29
Speaker 2: winter mode for at least the first part of the day.
14:32
Speaker 2: They'll gobble like mad, But the ladies tend to lead
14:34
Speaker 2: them all to the same food sources that they hit
14:37
Speaker 2: all winter long, and they'll do their best to fill
14:39
Speaker 2: up their crops before doing anything else. If I'm facing
14:43
Speaker 2: stupid cold weather and just hunting for myself, I won't
14:46
Speaker 2: go out a lot, you know, until like noon or later.
14:49
Speaker 2: I'll hit that afternoon window of higher temperatures and hunt
14:52
Speaker 2: off the hopes that the birds will spread out and
14:54
Speaker 2: do their thing after their morning routine. It often works.
14:58
Speaker 2: But if I have kids to take or someone else
15:00
Speaker 2: or whatever, sometimes you just go do your thing and
15:03
Speaker 2: the cold and hope for that bird that will cover
15:06
Speaker 2: ground and work no matter what. Now, with turkeys, that
15:10
Speaker 2: bird is often out there at some point of the day.
15:13
Speaker 2: They're out there when it gets really hot too, but
15:16
Speaker 2: that's a different thing. My least favorite turkey hunting condition
15:19
Speaker 2: just might be blazing heat. Now, just like with cold,
15:23
Speaker 2: how hot is too hot is relative. My version of
15:26
Speaker 2: that would be dream weather for someone down in Texas
15:28
Speaker 2: or Florida. But it's safe to say that if you
15:31
Speaker 2: have temps that you'd consider oppressive, the birds will react
15:34
Speaker 2: to it. The heat often leads to loafing in the shade,
15:38
Speaker 2: but again you can use that. I killed a bird
15:41
Speaker 2: on some public land last year in Nebraska while hunting
15:43
Speaker 2: in really hot weather by sitting close to a windmill
15:47
Speaker 2: over a stock tank. The flock of jakes that came
15:50
Speaker 2: in all had their mouths open because it was stupid hot.
15:53
Speaker 2: And I don't really know how to make this sound
15:56
Speaker 2: any smarter than it is. Hunting around water allows you
15:59
Speaker 2: to be where the birds are, expect birds to go
16:01
Speaker 2: because they want to go there, And if it's one
16:03
Speaker 2: of those early April heat waves like I was in,
16:06
Speaker 2: you have the added benefit of a little micro habitat
16:09
Speaker 2: around that water that has lots of fresh greenery and
16:12
Speaker 2: bug life, and maybe even some frogs or snails to
16:15
Speaker 2: convince them to come in and chop down. Essentially, if
16:18
Speaker 2: it's going to be super hot, hunt where you'd want
16:21
Speaker 2: to be if you were covered in black feathers and
16:23
Speaker 2: had to be out there all day. You might hit
16:25
Speaker 2: the field, you know, for an hour or two in
16:27
Speaker 2: the morning, but mostly you'll be in the timber, maybe
16:30
Speaker 2: low in the timber where the coolest temps are, and
16:33
Speaker 2: you'd almost always build in a visit to water at
16:36
Speaker 2: some point throughout your day, and no matter what, just
16:39
Speaker 2: try to be out there in the afternoon or evening
16:41
Speaker 2: when temperatures start to drop a little, Just like with deer,
16:44
Speaker 2: you'll often witness a flurry of turkey activity. And that's
16:48
Speaker 2: when the birds get real callable because they feel it too,
16:51
Speaker 2: and they know their chances of meeting a girlfriend for
16:53
Speaker 2: the day are the best they are going to be
16:55
Speaker 2: before it's time to sleep away another night in a tree.
16:58
Speaker 2: Don't fear the weather. This bring my friends, learn how
17:02
Speaker 2: to use it, and then come back throughout this week
17:05
Speaker 2: because I'm gonna keep dropping a few more turkey episodes.
17:08
Speaker 2: That's it for this week. I'm Tony Peterson. This has
17:10
Speaker 2: been the Wired to Hunt Foundation's podcast, which is brought
