Default Overcast/Misty Days

Magic's post on the "Scrapes and Rubs" thread got me thinking about hunting on overcast/drizzly days. I have noticed over the years that I have, without a doubt, seen more deer on days with overcast/damp conditions, than I see on bright sunny days. Just the overcast conditions alone seem to make a big difference in meseeing deer, as well as when I see these deer.They can even be seen moving at off "peak" times.
The deer in my area seem to be more at ease when it's not bright out.I believe even the shadows that the sun producescan put deer on edge, as they movewith the occasional clouds that move. Deer don't trust/like things that move!Anyway, I just wanted to hear what others thought about this subject?
