Hunting Rain

[smithhunter1975]

Looks like rain the next several days. You all going to be out hunting in it? The time of year tells me I should but it has been so slow for me thus far….

With whitetail hunting you do what you have to do! The season is only so long and the time is now so yes get out and hunt. Good luck

The calendar says...GO hunting!! Hunting in the rain can be tedious, but still productive. My problem is these SE winds are KILLING me. Then, wouldn't you know it, we have 90% SE winds Fri-Mon. Dang it!!

That's where I'm at. I don't have a ton of options for SE.

Yesterday was the most movement I’ve seen in a week.They just disappeared after the pheasant opener. I don’t know if it was the rain or it just took a week to get comfortable and come back.

Yesterday the neighbors shot 3- 2 1/2 year olds (family)-by far most movement I’ve seen all season. Hoping they are done now and I might finally get out- but looking like the 9th might be my first chance. If I don’t get out then, it will be late season first chance.

I sat in a blind in the rain Saturday and had the best sit I've ever had in both quantity and quality. Phenomenal.

What kind of areas are you guys sitting in during rain?
I can't say I remember any real good rain hunts, but I still do it every year. I shot 1 in the rain maybe 18 years ago in a funnel back in the timber. Only deer I saw that day though.

It depends on how much rain . Mist and light rain is good, heavy rain it seems to slow everything down !

Snow is much better !
