The weather was not what you would consider ideal for turkey hunting; it was windy and cold and the temperature was on the march downward. Why would anybody go turkey hunting, well you just never know. I have seen turkeys very active during windy conditions like we had today. Besides, I had taken vacation to hunt and that is what I intended to do.
I did not see nor hear any birds today, but I did get some very valuable scouting time in. I did find out there were not a lot of birds where I was hunting, but I did find an area that did have a fair amount of turkey sign.

Observations:

I was on the Black River today with the boat and that is the first time I had ever seen white caps on this narrow river. I was almost a little fearful the boat was going to be blown over the top of me while I was traveling against the wind.
