I am surprised no one mentioned using a tracking string. They cost about 5 bucks, attach to the end of your stabilizer and give me piece of mind during rainy weather.

There are limitations of course. I limit myself to under 25 yard shots with the string on my arrows. At 20 I have no effect on my arrow but by 30 my arrow drops about 3 to 4 inches from where it should hit and I don' t risk it if though I know where the impact point is. I also don' t shoot through tiny little openings in the brush in case the string were to get caught up and deflect an arrow.

I recommend practicing shooting with the string before using it on deer, but in mine and my friends set up' s it has worked very well and made a much easier job or tracking a deer in wet conditions.
