If its really windy (hard to hear anything in the woods) I stay home but hunting in a nice light steady rain is great for still hunting & stalking really helps mask your sound. I read an article in bowhunter magzine last years( I think) about the benifits about hunting in a light rain(not heavy) it's like the deer know your going to stay home. But I understand that all you old cats with all the arthritis and such shouldn't go out when its chilly and rainy...LOL leave it to us young guys.
