I hunt in all weather. I shot my first buck ever in a heavy rain storm 2 years ago. He was walking towards me through some really thick stickers. I watched as he tried to come through a thick stickerbush but couldn't. So he turned broadside and walked into an opening right on the otherside of a large oak tree. I took him with my first shot. I measured the distance from where I shot him and it was only 12 1/2 yards. I was amazed to see such a buck just out wandering around in that heavy of a rain storm. I watched the weather when i got home that evening and they said the rain was coming down at about 2 inches an hour. That's alot. Ever since then I hunt in every weather condition. That's what Gortex is for.
