I killed my biggest/wildest buck in the rain. I was sitting in a homemadeladder stand, 4x4 green treated platform with a boat swivel seat in the middle, about 25' off the ground. It started off with a little mist, then light rain, then itbegan to pour! It poured on and off for the 3 hours I was there. Didn't use any techniques, buck just came in looking for a doe. I guess the cooler weather/rain combination got him up and moving. That deer is on my wall now!
