I always hunt field edges during a rain, even after a rain. Im not for sure, but I think they feel safer in the fields at this time and the rain makes it easier for them to catch insects. Im not for sure on the reasoning, but I know I always see turkeys headin for the fields during a rain.

We too have about a 30-40% chance for this weekend, our opener. Im taking the Double Bull, setting up on a field edge of a corn field they frequent and being patient in the morning. It will be my first time back at this particular farm since deer season.

Like you, I LOVE when it is thundering. It always gets the birds worked up, and makes it much easierto move in on one as they keep sounding off their exact location.
