Not sure where you're hunting but west central Indiana forecast could be better:
Wednesday: A 20 percent chance of showers. Partly cloudy, with a high near 60. West wind between 6 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.

I hope one of our experienced experts will answer that for you. I would like to know also. I would guess out in the open since there is so much movement in the woods with the tree limbs blowing, but really don't know from experience. |

Looks like there is going to be some wind to contend with for several days. I'm planning to go out Thu &/or Fri after work - just to see if I can tell where any are roosting if nothing else & then hit it on the weekend. Sunday looks a little iffy with a chance of thunderstorms moving in.

I am in no way an expert but I believe wind & rain will tend to make them concentrate in open areas due to their hearing being compromised.

What HM said, and what I was told by some veteran hunters at the youth hunt down in Switzerland county... high wind defeats their hearing, so the only thing they have left is good vision, so they will tend to be in relatively open areas where they can see predators coming at a distance and still make an escape...
Now I would also think that they would make use of windbreaks and such so they're not having to fight the wind all the time and burn energy, but that's a guess on my part... most critters want to get as comfortable as possible, is my theory...

The rain and wind will deffinately pushem into open grounds. The toms seem to not like to strut as much with high winds it's kinda like a drag car opening up its parachute at 200mph. When it's raining, I'm in the feilds for sure.

Everything is running later this year. Just got home from KY, saw huge flocks of jakes and toms that have not broken up yet. Not much interested in the hens yet, but a B-Mobile w/ a jake fan did the trick on 2 KY gobblers still.
