Guess it depends on where you hunt. In Texas where I hunt, lightening is common in deer season and is the only thing that will keep me from hunting due to fear. I don' t hunt in a downpour, but not from fear, just because I don' t want to. Don' t mind hunting in a drizzle though.

Some of the best hunting I have ever experienced was right after a big thunderbumper rainstorm. Last fall, it stormed all night until after daylight and then let up to periodic drizzling. Went still hunting and saw a deer behind every bush.

The only thing that would keep me from hunting because of fear would be something that could end my life, not just because it would be uncomfortable. That really comes down to lightening and blizzard conditions. Have never worried about blizzards in Texas where I hunt.
