If it's just spitting I'll take my tree umbrella and have at it. If it's a steady Rain RAIN, I stay home and watch the weather. I love to hit the woods right after it stops. Surprisingly, a real heavy rain does seem to get them on their feet. They don't seem to like laying on the ground with water running under their belly. Look for them in or along the edges of stands of pines munching mushrooms. One of the most often proven truisms I ever heard was from an old Southern farm boy. He said, "If the cows are up walking and feeding, so are the deer. He got it from his old Southern grand pappy.[8D] The problem hunting in rain(especially if there's no wind) is your scent goes straight down and mushrooms out all around you.
