During our rifle season, it was warm and sunny opening weekend. Sunday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon it was a lot cooler and rain off and on, sometimes even a pretty good shower. My bro-in-law and I saw more deer on Monday and Tuesday than 9 people did over the course of rest of the season. All on the same property. If I remember correctly, 5 mature doe were harvested those three days. I even had the opportunity see our largest buck. He just wouldn't present himself in an opening long enough for me to pull the trigger.

If it is a hard rain, get out there so you can be set up when it quits, or for few hours before the rain will start. Pretty easy to figure that out now with the internet and live radar feeds.

Good luck.
