Steady rain................just depressing, no matter how high my spirits were to start I just get bummed really fast when I am getting soaked. I don't think I have seen more then a handful of deer my whole life in steady rain.

A hard rain with wind and lightning, a treestand is not a safe place. Depending on what time of the season it is, nothing else usually stops me if I have the time off.

The sound of that steady rain on the top of the ground blind. good camping chair. That's some good sleep right there.
Maybe I'll see a deer or two when the eyes are open

If it's legal hunting hours I'm going to be out there no matter the weather. The rain has to stop some time!

Downpours and lightning are really the only things that keep me indoors.

I can deal with the wind, I just hunt from a groundblind and hope the wind calms.

I can deal with snow.
I can deal with a slight drizzle.
I can deal with heat.

It takes life threatening weather to usually keep me indoors. Even if the weather is crappy and I won't get a shot; a bad day in the stand always beats a good day at work.

I'll hunt in everything but heat and stormy weather

and thenthe deer spot me and laugh
at the sparks flying out of my %$#

some of you old-timers probably know the inspiration for this little ditty...
