RE: Hunting in the rain
well firsi wear rubber pants!
And I would find a logging trail and sit along side of that.....if it lets up just a little - they will come and they still gotta feed ya know.
Better yet if you can find a loging trail with a T or intersecting rd - give sya a bit more area or look for a clearing and if not that sit the heavy pines......if it ain't raining that hard they may take refuge there for a bit.
