What does everyone think about hunting on warm rainy days during the rut

they will do deer things. anytime during the rut is a good time to be in the woods

i was hunting friday evening id be on the stand by 2:00 . Sat. , id pack snacks and lunch stay the day . Sunday mourning daylight till 10:00 then go fishing.


comes down to what is gonna be light rain or heavy rain . lol

just go hunting !!!!

Warm rainy days in rut have been good to me.

same.. especially when its a light to moderate rain and breezy. i complete down poor hasnt treated me as well

I don't like em , but the deer are gonna breed regardless of weather. When the stagnate weather breaks , there will be more noticeable daytime movement. Seen it many times , when a extreme weather pattern moves in early rut , movement slows , then when that pattern breaks , it's like someone opened the gate for a few days. Happened year before last when we had the Polar Vortex and it was single digits for about a week . The first day it got above freezing, the sun popped out and thawed it was a blood bath. Unseasonably warm, rainy, foggy several days in a row , works the same way.

I killed one of the better bucks I've ever killed new years day several years ago it was 72 degrees at 7am when he came out chasing a doe. I was wearing shorts and crocs

I’ve always had and still have to work in the rain sometimes. For that reason, if I don’t have to do anything in the rain, I refuse to do it. I DO NOT hunt in the rain.

They out eating right now looks like.

I've had success during those muggy days of the rut and right after a rain, they usually get up and get more active.......my buddy just killed a big 140 inch 10pt in MS last week, it was around 73 degrees when he killed him and he was out cruising mid afternoon......

Rut won't be for at least a couple weeks here. Did get to watch a couple decent bucks spar 10 minutes Christmas. If I was still mad at them I may have got out of the house

Have you saw any rut activity in Brierfield

the wather affects the hunter more than it does the deer

but I would not hunt in a torrential downpour unless I was on some sort of trip like at an SOA and only had a limited time to hunt. Missed a monster at Uchee creek in a torrential downpour in 2020. Absolutely an enormous buck and it was raining so hard I couldn't hardly see where I was walking. I was wearing my duck hunting waders, a rain coat and a tarp draped over my head and shoulder sitting on on the ground with my gun under the tarp. I pulled it out to shoot for only a short amount of time and it got so wet I had to go back and clean it and oil it in the hotel room. Miserable day to hunt

I killed an 8 bumping does a week or so ago but it's been bad slow since then. I usually have 8-10 different racked bucks of various ages this time of year. Here lately it's just one or two passing thru

Shot em multiple times n the rain and killed one of the biggest bucks i ever killed in 78 degree weather n the rut

Ain’t rut here but seen some does and yearlins

I’d rather be fishing but that’s pretty much every day

Killed one this afternoon in the rain and it was 70 degrees. And no rut yet. It can happen anytime just gotta be there
