Hey, I'm still fairly new to turkey hunting. I've only been on a few trips and have yet to bag me a bird, but I'm learning more each time and hopefully getting better.
I live in KY and my in-law's farm has a regular group of birds that move through the back, typically on a daily basis. Our season here opens a week from this Saturday. Tonight, my wife and I are going to go out where they typically gather and start tossing out some corn feed. I've got a decoy that seemed to gather some interest this past spring I plan on using again and a fairly good spot for cover with a decent shot-angle.
For those who are not from KY, right now we are experiencing a serious drought (we are 7" to 8" low on rain for the year). Grass is brown or dead in many areas. I was hoping some experienced turkey hunters could let me know if droughts will affect turkeys' behavior and patterns, if there are things to keep in mind or tricks I might consider. Just trying to prepare the best I can. Thanks in advance!
