RE: hunting in the rain
I hunt the rain. I have limited time in the woods every year, so no matter what the weather is doing, I am out there. When it rains the deer head to specific spots on my property as well. I have some young hemlock stands they flock to when it's raining. Since I bought some good rainwear this year finally, staying out there is no big thing. Combine the rainwear with my tree umbrella, and I stay dry as can be.
