Right on, Mauser!! Only take the shots you are sure are gonna make a humane kill. That being said,I won't hunt in the rain. Double-lunged a bear 3 years ago on an overcast day. Gave him about 45 mins and got on the blood trail. About 10 mins into it, the sky opened up and obliterated the blood trail, completely gone. A buddy found the bear (after an exaustive 8 hour grid search) under a pile of brushthe next afternoon. That experience cured me of rain hunting with the bow.
