RE: Hunting in the rain.....
Definitely get out there to hunt, especially if you hunt public land while the other hunters will stay in bed. The first time I saw my personal "trophy" buck was during a light rain. I had been looking down to shield my eyes (I was facing the wind of course) and then looked up to see this monster shaking the water off of his head. It was like he was shaking an entire bush, what a sight! It took me two weeks to take him, but it was worth it. I never even knew he was in there until that one rainy day.
