If it's not a complete down pour I'll go in a heart beat. I see alot of deer in the rain. Where you at, it's like 5 degrees here, no chance of rain but we're suppose to get alot of snow.

i would def hunt the morning casue as soon as that rain stops, you will start to see deer moving........hunt near beds which have a little cover...such as low lying pines or scrub brush...the deer will be out for a mid-morning meal once the rain stops........at least from what i hear....good luck

Hunting when the weather is less than favorable is my favorite time to hunt. It is what lets me know that I realy am addicted when all of my buddies say "There was no way I was getting out in that weather." I especially like it when I geta deerand then I can say to them "Should have been out there today."

If it is not lightning or storming, go. I shot a great 9 point two years ago in a mild rain. I have found they do not move much in the open, but will move in cover pretty well.
Some of my biggest bucks have come right after a rain storm. If it is going to come a storm, hit the woods just before, and right after.

Opening day and during the rut are the only times that I'll hunt in a fairly hard rain. I'll hunt anytime in light rain or showers. Wind blown rain keeps me indoors too. I hunt for enjoyment, and when it's raining, I ain't enjoying it!

RE: How many of you hunt during the rain?
I bet I've tried hunting in a mild to hard rain twenty to twenty-five times.. I've finally come to the conclusion I'm wasting my time.
Now... as some of the others said, if it's light and is supposed to stop... that's another thing.
