Default Hunting in the rain

I like to hunt in a light rain but by the end of the day all my equitment is soaked.I'm careful to get the water off my bow and to wax the string.What else should I do to keep my bow in good shape?Thanks

If you are going to hunt in the rain, know how your bow shoots when wet. You just may shoot low if you are not careful and knowledgable. When you are done and at home, bring your bow inside and let dry out. Oil cams if necessary.

IT SUCKS!!! I went out yesterday morning , it was 43 degrees with no wind and a lite drizzle. When I left it was pouring rain and wind gusts up to 30 mph. I didn't see a single deer , I was soaked from head to toe and frozen solid.<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

This mornin it was windy and raining lightly but stupid me went on out and sat for 3 hours and saw a whole big herd of NOTHING. I can do the rain but the wind cuts right through me.

I had rain opening morning in SW Iowa for 2 days, had to wait for lightening to stop to go in. Nothing seen first day but I passed up 4 small bucks the next day of light rain.

THWACK!
