What is your view on hunting in the rain? My next 2 off days are the 24th and the 25th It looks like its gonna be raining both of those days. But I want to go.
I love the rut. The woods are like a bunch of roided up meatheads fighting over a girl.

I like it because it reduces your scent and lower levels of light makes the deer more likely to ease out. Of course, if it is raining cats and dogs I try to avoid it.

I haven't had much luck in a hard rain. I've seen a few in a lite rain. Your scent settles making it tougher to get them into bow range. I've had more trouble with scent with these conditions than any other time.
83% of all statistics are made up.

I've had good luck hunting greenfields around noon on rainy days.
Take your kids hunting instead of hunting your kids.
I'd rather be LOST in the woods than FOUND in the city.
Drive a hybrid, I need your gas.
Your mind is your primary weapon. Never let it get rusty.

Season is only so long. I'd hate to get to June and regret not taking advantage of every opportunity I had to hunt because it was raining or hot. Apparently those two factors will be fairly prevalent this season thanks to El Nino. I can guarantee you it won't stop the bucks from chasing tail.

Killed my biggest in a drizzly rain too. Probably killed more deer while raining than not.

Actually deer can smell better in the rain, I know deer dogs can, and deer smell better than them,

Actually deer can smell better in the rain, I know deer dogs can, and deer smell better than them, imo , depends on the rain. seems to me the harder the rain the harder it is for the scent to disperse outward . just a , imo .
