Unless its raining buckets, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Maybe get on the trail sooner so the blood isn't washed too bad. Here again, you're less likely to spook and drive them in the rain.

As an aside, we had a nasty drought here and they had some video on the news a while back of some deer (fawn/yearlings)freaking out in the rain. No clue what it was....Point is, rain messes with deer's habits and senses to an extent.
I to love hunting a light rain killed my biggest buck at 5 yards in the rain.
