RE: bowhunting in the rain
I've hunted many times in the rain - and I've had some good successes then too. However, the bloodtrailing really sucked and it took me some time and God's blessing to actually find what I've shot over the years when there's no visible trail to follow.
I won't hunt in a downpour or blowing rain. I hunt for enjoyment and I ain't having fun sitting in a downpour![:'(]
