Default to hunt or not to hunt

Ok, here is the question. I know what I will do, just wondering what you all would do. Here in Minnesota to it is raining, with a little thunder, (not much thunder, but some) I have a ground blind set up that I can sit in, but I would probably get quite wet getting to it. Would you hunt today, or not.

me personally, i would hunt anyway. with the rain, it will be easy to stay quiet, keep scent down. and you never know when big boy will walk out, so if you got the chance i say go

I'm praying for rain to hunt in tomorrow. Right now its 92 degrees in the shade. Rain tomorrow may cool things down a bit.

If I can hear thunder......I don't know. I'd have to assess what's been forecast.

It would also depend on how hard it was raining.

A little rain never hurt anyone. But if your going to need an ark to get to your blind then you might as well stay in the house and watch TV.

Myself i would put some hunting colths in a palatic bag so when i got to my ground blind i could changes,thats if your ground blind is a tent then wait for the rain to stop the the deer will start to move again. At lease thats what i've read in hunting magazines anyway .good luck to you . If you decide to go out let use know how it work out .

Well guys, I just got back. Didnt see any deer, but I did have 8 turkeys right outside my blind. It cleared up on my way out there. It wasa misting a little, but no rain. I sure dont like hunting out of a blind.
