Unless it's the rut, the only thing that will stop me from hunting is pouring rain and or lightning.
That reminds me of a bad day.
I was going out come hell or HIGH water.It was raining like hell and I started walking,wearing coveralls.Had about an 1/8 mile hike and I had an extra 100 pounds from being drinched,or so it felt.Got to the stand and started up.Lightning struck a tree less than 100 yards from me so I started right back to the truck.[:'(]
To be honest,the lightning was hitting around me everywhere and I was a little nervous.
My kids will stop me.
I hate to even say this but I missed first night of deer camp one year to go to the Russian Ballet performing the Nutcracker.[

]My daughter is a GREAT dancer and was performing with them,I couldn't tell her I wouldn't be there.Longest night of my life.
