We are having an extremely wet spring and the ground is so soggy you can barely walk on it.

I haven't been seeing or hearing the usual amount of turkeys as in a normal spring season. In fact, most of the gobblers seem to be henned up or will answer a shock call, but then they get lock jaw.

Any advice from all you more experienced hunters on what to do with these soggy turkeys.

been there...tough situation.
my 2cents...

-rely on your preseason scouting to tell you where to focus your time and energy if your birds arent gobbling.
-focus your hunting around greenfields and be patient
-stick with it, it will stop raining and they will start back to gobbling
-focus your hunting around greenfields and be patient
-if you don't have one, buy a tree umbrella so you'll be comfortable and dry while hunting in the rain
-focus your hunting around greenfields and be patient
-breeding will still be occurring even if weather patterns arent what we would desire
-focus your hunting around greenfields and be patient
-watch the NOAA weather forecasts closely...see if you can catch a high pressure system coming in early some morning...those clear, crisp mornings after a front has blown out that have 0% humidity can be some of the best days to hunt

oh yeah...and one more thought
-focus your hunting around greenfields and be patient

So Diablo... when it's wet is it a good idea to focus on green fields and be patient?

In all seriousness... great advice!

Diablo can be a little confusing at times.

To summerize... I think he's saying "focus your hunting around greenfields and be patient"

One thing I to have is green fields and I also have patience, but where to you buy a tree umbrella?

This looks the closest to the ones we have...

I've got umbrellas and patience, but my fields are still white. Do you know of a web link where I can get the proper shade of green to color the fields? Should i use paint (oil or water based) or food coloring or some other type of dye?

Thanks a million for all your help.

CD...
crop duster with green foodcoloring mixed with water should do the trick...just watch out for all the air carp (geese) that'll draw in too...
