I hunt mostly hardwood forest areas, the blood won't last 10 minutes on top of the leaves, even in a light rain. I know you might be able to follow the turned up leaves if the deer is running or staggering away but if you get a faint blood trail and the deer just wanders off your chances of finding the deer are slim. It just doesn't seem worth the risk to me.

Rain is in the N Bama forecast for Monday morning, if it is still there Sunday night I'll go to work Monday and hope Tuesday's weather is better.

Am I the only one that feels this way about bowhunting in the rain?


No, I do too. I don't bowhunt in the rain. I will go to the woods close to the end of good rain, hoping to be in the tree by the time it stops though.
