RE: Raining & Hunting
I usually go, most of the time I have no choice. Either its hunt or spend the day in a tent lol.
I love to do it also, used to bike in the rain, however AK ran and Mn rains are completely different. I could bike all nite in a MN rain and not freeze my butt off, I am sure I dont have to go into details on AK.
Stalking is better, this was the other reason I liked it. I hated sitting in trees. Dont get me wrong, I just enjoyed stalking so much more.
That said I wouldnt shoot something in a torrential down pour due to recovery. I still went though, it was just nice to get out. The animals dont hide and usually get up and move more unless its a bad one. The minute it slows, out they come....
