rain and thunderstorms- stay home or go?

Thats what they make raingear for.  Unless it's lightening I'm out there, especially if I have a field to hunt.  Come hell or highwater, I'm turkey huntin'

Tomorrow morning is the opener here in AR. The high is 72, calling for scattered thunderstorms and 40% chance of rain til noon with 10-15 mph winds and gusts 20+. It goes up to 80% rain and thunderstorms in the evning. I have a couple birds located on public land and they like to strut in clearing just over a 1.25 mile from the closest road. Camera showed they'd get there between 12-2 and one bird may come 2 or 3 days in a row then next it'd be a different bird. I have tomorrow scheduled off work, should I just save that day for a better time to hunt and go to work? Or go take my chances of getting rained on lol. I've never tried to hunt them when it was raining or storming.

Go
