If you hunt from a treestand you can use a product called a tree-brella. I' m sure you have seen it. It looks like an umbella that attaches to the tree above your head. You stay completely dry and thus stay on stand longer. I' ve never had a deer spook from it. I got this for Christmas a couple of years ago. I thought I would never use it, but it has become one of my most dependable items. I don' t get many days I can hunt and thus can' t afford to have the few days I have spoiled by the weather. Besides, the hunting can be quite good between periods of hard rain.
