Default Would you hunt THIS rain???

I have the opportunity to hunt tomorrow morning.....and Friday morning. Tomorrow morning looks like rain.....but the temp drop is going from 56 to under 40 throughout the day.

Now....I'm tagged out on bucks for the year....but I need another doe or two to reach my mgmt. goals. Would you hunt in this rain if you were me.....or hunt the afternoon....after the temp drop in the lower temps. (I can hunt Friday morning, too)?

I guess I need a push!!!

They always seem to move more when the temp drops, and seems like they bed down when it rains.

Looks like afternoon to me.

Well Jeff, since I'm off tomorrow and Friday for hunting purposes...my answer is to hunt!! Hopefully there won't be storms, I can deal with the rain. It's supposed to be windy tomorrow afternoon.

I'm off tomorrow to hunt also. Go out and meet your goals. That is what I intend to do! I'm really looking forward to the drop in temps here.

I would if I wanted to. However, in the rain I would not take anything but a perfect shot at a totally relaxed deer just to reducethe chances of needing a good blood trail in order to find the deer. On the other side of the coin, there isthat nice comfywarm bed and there is a lot of season left

Jeef I always had good luck in the rain when the temp. is dropping. Deer sightings were real high. Now I would not be out if its a drenching rain but what we have been getting here I would be hunting!

You couldn't pay me to head out if I were in your shoes.


On the other hand, if my season was in, and being in the shoes I'm in, then you'd have to shoot me to keep me from heading out
