I bowhunt in a light rain . . . I'll hunt in heavier rains during the rut. However, I won't hunt in WIND and rain since the deer don't move much then. I don't like to shoot a deer with an arrow in rain unless it's light and I KNOW I will be able to make a perfect hit. I killed a doe a couple years ago during a rainstorm (I HAD to get a doe to open up my 2nd buck tag). I wasn't sure of my hit and decided to wait before looking for her. I had NO BLOOD trail whatsoever, but went in the direction she had gone and found her 45 yards later. The rain has washed out more than one blood trail, but the Lord has always helped me to find those deer and none have been lost due to rain.
