Do you deer hunt in the rain??

I took my black buck a couple of weeks ago in the misty rain

I sleep during the rain and hunt as soon as it stops!

The rain is one of the reasons we built the stands we did. Most of our bow stands are enclosed boxes with roofs. Nice and dry in a shower or downpour. I love listening to the rain hit off the tin roof.

Some of my best buck viewing times are post heavy rain. In the after glow with the drizzle & the mist.

I snuck up on several bedded does in the rain last week in WV. Shot one that was bedded in a field after sneaking up on them. Rain is your friend when still-hunting.

Favorite hunts have came in the mist and drizzle. I have also sat through down pours just to be able to hunt those times when it let up and the deer really get to moving. Can't shoot them at home.

Supposed to get lots of rain here in CenTex this weekend. Was hoping to fit in some hunting with my son. We hunt from a ground blind so we will have some cover but I'm wondering if it's even worth the drive out to the lease.

Do any of you hunt in the rain? Do deer generally lay up somewhere or do they still move around as usual?

Only when it's raining

Well it looks like I'll be hunting in the rain than. thanks for the feedback all.

good luck

Yes, with a good rain suit. As soon as the rain lets up even a little, the deer are moving.

light intermentent rain yes! If it's going to be a downpour I normally try to get on stand 30-45 minutes before it's expected to quit because when it does the woods come alive. I've seen and shot some of my best deer to date on rainy days.
