If work will allow, try to hunt during the rain or just afterwards. Of course not if it is storming bad. But yes, I like to hunt after a rain. Remember to really try and keep your movements to a minimum while in the tree...the ground being wet is definately an advantage to the deer being able to get close to you withough you knowing he/she is coming. Of course the wet ground is to your advantage too...quiter entry in to the woods and keeps your scent down! Good luck!
