I am much more inclined to sit all day during gun season during the rain than I am with my bow. If it's raining to beat hell and I stick a nice deer it's really hard to go home and wait 3 hours before you start tracking it. As y'all know, the rain will wash away some or a lot of the blood. I don't want to do anything that will increase my chances of not finding a deer, God knows bowhunting is challenging enough! So during bow season when it's really cutting lose, I'm more inclined to do as Govt Mule said and sit in the barn and drink beer!
i take that into consideration when im bowhunting in the rain. if im gun hunting i would probably stick it out
