Default rain?

The forecast is calling for a 70% chance of rain for tomorrow morning and afternoon. This is my only opportunity to get out this week, have any of you guy's ever had any success while hunting in the rain? Should i just stay home?

Hunting is good in a light rain or right after a heavy rain. Now tracking in rain is no fun...

If you can stick it out while it's raining, it gets real good when it quits.
