thunderstorms?
#1

I've had luck in the past in both snow and rain, but they just changed the forecast for my 1st real weekend out to thunderstorms 
Any thoughts? I'm going regardless, but will I be wasting my time? I realize they won't hear me and I won't hear them, but will they stay on the roost, or will they keep in tight cover?
Any help appreciated...

Not sure if downpour all day, and with their accuracy I doubt the weather man knows either. I do have two blinds set-up, mostly waterproof, at least until they are saturated.
Worse comes to worse I'll sit in a blind and read a book and smoke cigarettes, but I refuse to sit around inside on my 1st real chance this season to get out there for a hunt.

I would stay home. There is something about being soaking wet and having lightning around that takes the fun right out of it.
I see what your doing, trying to keep me away from the birds because of the contest! LOL
Screw that, I'm going, I won't be there at 5am but I'll be in a blind mid morning

Last weekend I went out just before an afternoon thunderstorm. I had one coming to my call across the field when the thunder and lightning started to get with it. He'd gobble with every crack of thunder but he instantly turned and started heading towards the trees. I couldn't get him back out so being out there with a shotgun and lightning, I decided to give up for the day.
From my experiences they hide in thunderstorms but on drizzly or just rain showers they prefer the open areas a little better.
