rain?

What do you guys think about hunting in the rain? I personally like it, makes me feel like it gets deer moving.

My favorite days to hunt are cold, rainy days in november. Not a down pour but a drizzly overcast day in november in the upper 30s lower 40s you will be seeing deer all day.

Killed my best bow buck in driving sleet/rain.

I can echo the first comment. Not any fun if its a down pour but it is nice to hunt in a light rain. Washes away your scent and also takes away the noise. Whether it be your hunting clothes or the leaves you walk on.

It also washes away a blood trail . I cant argue that the deer move well on those days tho

I agree with the good scent knockdown and also a little background noise. Did it last year in late October and saw a lot of deer moving.

They say to be there right after a good rain....that is when they all get on their feet.

To add a bit..... Hunt a active scrape line right after a rain and I would be willing to bet that you will have good action. This is especially true the closer you get to late October.

I know here in western ky a day when it's cold and cloudy and slightly raining r by far the best to be hunting. Deer are like people when it comes to a down pour, they don't wana be up moving around in it. Around here if it's a down pour they'll stay tucked up in the thickets. Same goes with a day when we have high winds. But if it's a cold rainy day and even with some sleet mixd in then u can find me in the stand!
