RE: hunting in the rain
I like hunting in a light rain, although the sound can put me to sleep if I' m already beat from working.
I like snow better, but rain will do nicely.
Soaked leaves on the ground make it easier to move quietly.
The whole trick to being comfortable out there is staying dry.
Once you get wet, you' ll be miserable in short order, even if you have the constitution to stick it out.
