RE: Do you hunt in the rain?
I'm like you, I hunt in light/moderate rain. But if it really comes a downpour, I really don't see the point.
Usually if it does start to rain really hard, it'll pass pretty quickly. If im in a hardcore mood, I'll stay.

I do!!!! If I get up in the morning and it is storming....Naaahhhh! But I will be right there waiting on it to start slacking and then i am in the stand waiting on it to quit, I have seen a lot of deer right after a hard rain, especially if it rained hard most of the night.

last year i sat in a ground blind with my g/f and i was hoping to get her a deer but it was down pouring... we started to leave and then we looked over only to find a nice big doe standing 25 yards just looking at us.... it sucked man.... 5 more minutes and she would have been dead

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.

RE: Do you hunt in the rain?
Last year, i went hunting in a light rain which turned into a down pour, lots of lightning, almost to close for comfort, hail, and wind, while stalking thru the trees, i bumped several Does, had the chance to draw on 2 of them, didnt find any bucks and that is what i was hunting. It was wicked weather to say the least. several shots of the lightning were like flash-BOOM! lol, my wife called thinking i should come home, probably wasnt the smartest thing i have ever done but hey, i was hunting.
