thing is rain hurts their vision and hearing, their main defences. so any open hard woods, log yards, log roads, places that they can see the farthest. one thing that may help, they will gobble at thunder so it may help with locating them. good luck and be safe.

sunday is our opener and i'm going to be videoing a couple hunters. did a video last weekend for a youth hunt and it came out pretty good. although he didn't get a shot, the jake put on a good show. i'll sneak out in the morning before work during the week and my son and i will get after it next weekend. his senior prom is saturday night so he wouldn't be able to get home at midnight and get up at 4 am.

i tell ya they weatherman is giving me fits now its looking like a 40% chance of rain ,thunderstorms after 12pm which will be fine since we can only hunt till then.so i got the gear packed and will head out in the morning just wont do the super early hunt since it will be raining and dark.ill see how i feel in the morning and what the weather is really doing and not forecasted

well between the bad weather and the even worse news the trip didnt go down.Im going to try after i return from maryland .after three days down there for the funeral the time in the woods will do me some good and hopefully produce a turkey or two for the table.the time in the woods should clear the heart and head
