jersey,

I sometimes hunt in the rain because it can be an extremely productive time to hunt. I haven't had it bite but I can see where it could. But, you have to be expecting them to run 40 yards and flop or you shouldn't take the shot anyway. Sometimes things just don't work out the way they should. If he had made a killing shot the deer wouldn't have run far and it would have died. If it's a marginal hit the deer should go lay down and you should find it even without a bloodtrail. Hunting in the rain is definitely a controversial issue and I see your point. Just expressing my views.
