Hello all I hope my post is accepted. I hunt in Washington State and it rains a lot in turkey season up here. I am new to the state and was wondering if I should use the same hunting method as if it was clear weather or do you suggest other tactics? In season, I normally set up a blind set in a corner of a semi-open field, about 3-5 feet in a tree line.  Finally,  this is my second year so any tips sure would be useful, such as calls, sents, camouflage, or anything else you think would be important. Thanks and good hunting this season!

   From the article titled, “Rainy Day Turkey Hunting” (see source) Turkeys prefer more open areas during the rain. Call louder to be heard over the constant white noise of a rainstorm. A rainy day is the best time to put the stalk on a bird. Immediately after the storm passes, make certain to be hunting an open pasture or crop field where birds go to dry off. This also is a great time to use a full-body gobbler decoy. As the rain ends, have your decoys out on the edge of an open field where gobblers can exercise their pent-up aggression.

   Turkey hunting would be quite an interesting job but I would rather prefer pig hunting. In New Zealand, pig hunting is popular since a long time, around 200 years.
