RE: Bowhunting in the rain. Yes or no?
Hunted last night in the rain. Not a storm. On and off rain. Saw deer too. As long as it's not a full blown storm I'll hunt. Last year my daughter shot a huge buck when it was thundering and lighting. It started storming after we got in our stands. I was thinking this is stupid when she showed up. This happened in Dec. and the buck came in to her James Valley scent. Seems he had one thing on his mind and it wasn't the storm. Great rain gear that is quiet and breathes makes hunting in damp conditions more comfortable. Tracking blood trails can be interesting. Deer move in the rain. I guess it comes down to what someone once said to me," can't get a deer sitting in the recliner"! Anyhow, wipe the bow dry, let your feathers dry, steam them back to shape and enjoy what mother nature gives to us.
As long as kids are having fun shooting, I don't care if I shoot bad
