Mild rain doesn't seem to bother them. I've hunted in it before and seen deer. They only seem to hold tight when it's really bad weather - hard rain, wind, etc.

The question shouldn't be whether it bothers them, it should be whether it bothers you.

Yes they all go to their deer homes when it rains[8D]

If it is a storm then who cars only a nuckle head hunts in a thunder storm.

Light rain or drizzle can be some great mature buck hunting!!

I've been known to be a knucklehead then. I really like to still hunt bedding areas in a downpour. You stay pretty scentfree and quiet thanks to the heavy rain. I have gotten up close and personal with a ML. I;m looking forward to trying with my bow.

You hunt in Lighting? That is what I mean, if you want to hunt in a hard rain more power to you!!!
