I don' t no about you but when it is havy rain and snow i love to hunt because it makes they deer not move alot and i can get alot closer to them than normal, because they can' t hear or smell me as great. But not according to this website take a look http://www.bowsite.com/bowsite/features/practical_bowhunter/wind-rain/

I' d have to say I follow whats said in the article. Your idea of heavy, might not be the same as the authors. Heavy downpours, my a$$ is on the couch.[&o]

I' ve read an article that explained that it' s usually several factors that affect deer movement. Like if it' s hot and the wind is blowing, that makes the deer move better, just like a cool breeze when it' s hot makes you and me feel better, but when it' s cold wind enhances the cold and slows deer movement. A light rain that cools down a hot day does the same thing, but if it' s a downpour, they don' t stir as much. As far as snow is concerned, unless it windy when it' s snowing, it doesn' t seem to affect them that much.
