RE: rain
When there is a fairly light rain, it is a great time to be hunting. IF you can stay comfortable! I like to get to my stand even if its raining pretty good! That way, I'm already there if it stops raining and clears up. If the deer have not been moving in the rain, they will usually start moving soon after it starts to clear. Bucks like to get out and freshen up their scrapes after it rains.
