I will hunt in the rain unless it' s an all out downpour. In fact it rained most of the day last sat(our opener) and I was out. I will limit my shots to 20 and under....looking for the slam dunk as david said. I still would rather be out there, than not. I also have a port a roof umbrella, and give it an A+. It is nice. I don' t use it that often, but it really works well. I hunted all day last year during the rut, and it rained the whole day. I was totally dry. Saw alot of deer that day, and it was nice not getting wet.
