Hunting light rain is awesome....washes your scent away and the deer don't mind it (remember they live outside

) Limit your shot distances as well because you will lose the blood trail quick. On another note, make you your bowstring is really waxed. Two years ago, I hunted in the rain on a new piece of property. Had three bucks come running toward my stand. I had left my bow on the hanger and it was getting rained on. When one of the bucks got close, I drew and shot. I had no idea where I had hit him because the water on the string splashed into my eyes. My bowstring wasn't waxed well either and the string absorbed some water making it heavier and causing my arrow speed to drop. I didn't realize this til after the fact but I ended up shooting low and just knocked some hair off his belly. I have since bought one of the camo umbrellas that screws into the tree. Next time I hunt in the rain, it is coming with me....
