Hey its been raining all day here, not super hard, but consistant, i'm wondering if it will be worth it to take my bow out in the rain? i know this will have an effect on my shot, but if i limit my range do you think i'll be alright, and how do deer move in the rain ?

If you do hunt in the rain, limit your shots to 20 yards and take no chances. If any aspect of the shot doesn't feel right, don't take it.

Go, Go, Go. Go hunt man. Deer don't mind the rain as long as it's not thunder and lightning or a torrent of a downpour. Matter of fact...I think they sort of like it. I see a lot of deer when I hunt in the rain and have taken two in the last two years in rain.
Go.

Hunting light rain is awesome....washes your scent away and the deer don't mind it (remember they live outside) Limit your shot distances as well because you will lose the blood trail quick. On another note, make you your bowstring is really waxed. Two years ago, I hunted in the rain on a new piece of property. Had three bucks come running toward my stand. I had left my bow on the hanger and it was getting rained on. When one of the bucks got close, I drew and shot. I had no idea where I had hit him because the water on the string splashed into my eyes. My bowstring wasn't waxed well either and the string absorbed some water making it heavier and causing my arrow speed to drop. I didn't realize this til after the fact but I ended up shooting low and just knocked some hair off his belly. I have since bought one of the camo umbrellas that screws into the tree. Next time I hunt in the rain, it is coming with me....

The rain shouldn't affect your arrow flight adversely. It is early in the season so if you don't feel like getting wet don't bother, but in a couple weeks if you can hunt you should no matter what the weather. Just make a good shot. You can't go hunting thinking about what will happen if you make a bad shot. Think positive and be confident in your abilities. If you aren't confident that you can make a 30 ayrd shot in the rain then you shouldn't shoot it in the sun either.

deer actually like a nice light rain , but hold your shots under 20 yards

I don't bowhunt in the rain because I'm too afraid of losing the blood trail.

Deer will move around in rain comfortably. They will move around even more in heavy rain as they can't stand being soaked while bedded down. You have to be more alert, because unless they step on a large enough branch that pops, you won't hear them coming. Make sure you blow out your peep before you draw back...the water tension will hold a drop in there pretty well and you can't see through it.

I love hunting in a drizzle the deer are up and moving around. Now a hard steady rain they will usually hole up somewhere and wait it out. But in a slow drizzle....They better watch out, Im after 'em.

I'll wouldbe out hunting in the rain if I had any tags left.
