Ikill a lot of deer when there is a light drizzle, just put the umbrella up and stay nice and dry. Heavy rain im back to the truck.

As long as it is not a downpour, yes.

I bought the high end Cabelas rain gear this past season, and I have to say, I am bone dry unless the rain comes in horizontal.

Yes, I hunt in the rain. I'll even be out in the heavy stuff, hoping it will let off. ;)

love hunting in a drizzle or after a night of down pours and lets off right at daylight or a little after.....or in the afternoon if it rained all night and most of the next morning.

If its raining hard, I'm going to try stalking. Last year it was downpouring so I decided to leave and as I was walking out I got to 10 feet from alot of deer. They jumped up and scared the crap out of me. Didn't have time for a shot. But this year I'll be more cautios.
I'm still young, dumb, and full of... well you know. I'm a weekend hunter (not by choice) so I'm there rain or shine. This being said I know it's almost pointless to sit in a heavy rain. I really like the idea of stalking.

Last year I was positioned poorly in a stand and the deer were behind me. I got out and out a clear day I got within about 30 yards before they got spooked and took off. Think I would of had a kill that day if rain were covering my footsteps.
