Not only do the fair weather laymen hunters leave all the birds for you. You also have in my opinion the BEST non turkey noise to locate a gobbler. Thunder is almost automatic. They can’t help but rattle off a gobble. It makes them much more vulnerable and that’s where most of my 3+ year old birds have come from.
Killed my first bird ever to thunder. Don't remember how me and my dad first got on him but it was mid afternoon and a storm was about to blow in and every time it would thunder he'd hammer. I'll never forget the sound of that deep thunder rolling through that hardwood bottom. Every time I go in that bottom I can dang near hear that thunder and see that bird falling off that ridge!
Just last year I went out scouting one morning and it was supposed to rain about an hour after daylight. Started that rolling thunder again and that bird gobbled every single time. Had a perfect, "no interference" trail of which way he was walking. So a little thunder can be awesome
