The weather changed from mid 60's with 5mph winds, to mid 40's and 15mph wind, gusts to 25. Red had a hard time scenting, he unenthusiastically barked four different times and places in 90 minutes. With the high wind, he couldn't air-scent like usual, had to trail with his nose to the ground, like a beagle does a rabbit. We only saw 2 birds fly over the hour and a half. Red did 7.6 miles, must've been after adult males that would rather run than fly. Weather conditions favored the turkeys today.
