Tomorrow is the opening day of shotgun season here in Nebraska and where I am hunting they have severe thunderstorms forecast for the afternoon.  Where I will be hunting, we have been scouting turkeys in a field every morning for the past several days.  Will the coming thunderstorms tend to change their patterns much?

 A storm in the afternoon shouldn't affect morning activity. I would imagine that they will feed a little heavier earlier, like any animal fish deer etc..., being as you have seen them in a field though it shouldn't impede your hunt. Hope that helps some.  I do know tha thunder is an awesome locator call, provided there is no lightning. Haha

They will gobbel at thunder when they won't gobble at anything else.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

They will also be out in the open as so as it quits raining too. If the weather not that severe  i stay out. That way I'm there before they come out.

Just after a good storm may just be the best time to kill a bird. If you have afternoon hunting, u should get in a blind and wait the storms out. U may just put your boot on a neck.
That ol' tom's already dead. He just don't know it yet .... The hard part is convincing him.

Are you REALLY working that gobbler, or is HE working YOU?
