I have observed a lot of the same things already mentioned but I will add this. Heavy rain sucks but it is not a deal breaker, I will never not go hunting because of the rain, good rain gear and a change of clothes and I'm going(I do live in Va so fall/winter are pretty mild). The main reason I say thisis rain is so variable, light rain here, down pours there, thunderstorms somewhere else. I want to be set up and hunting and if it starts to rain or is rainingthen I get wet but an hour later when it gradually starts to let up or stops for 30 minutes I am there waiting and they will be moving. Where as if I wait at the house until it "lets up" I could miss some very good action.

Also if it is late October/early November and bucks are actively scraping they will be freshening up scrapes shortly after the rain stops, from what I've seen.

From last season, many of you guys have already seen this but it goes along with the thread.
