Default Hunt in the Rain?

OK - I' m betting this might be a common post - but I' m curious - do you change your hunting goals or methods when hunting in the rain? Maybe you don' t hunt in the rain at all?

I' m talking about " hunting in the rain" - not - " the forecast calls for rain" .

Personally, I will bow-hunt in the rain - if I can remain comfortable. I usually opt for mature hemlock woods in a rainly situation - and hunt from about 15 ft. I like the protection from the rain the hemlocks offer - and the visibility to watch a deer after a hit. I only will shoot at less than 20 yds (10 yds preferred), broadside or quartering away. I' ve passed several deer that I otherwise might have shot at - due to the rain.

Post your thoughts on Hunting in the rain..........
