Default Rain?????

Just wondering what everyones opinion is on how rain affects hunting?
Does everyone see more or less deer? Does it effect the time of day the deer move?

Heavy rain will keep them bedded for the most part, but I love when it's misting or lightly raining. They movealot right after a heavy rain and I believe they feelsafer moving when it's cloudy out anyway.

I don't like to bowhunt in the rain. Blood trail gets washed away too easily. I will hunt with the rifle in the rain though, because that high shoulder hit will drop them in their tracks every time.
