Hunting in the rain

[WanderingNomad]

Hunting tomorrow and Sunday, however Sunday where I hunt in TN, the weather is now calling for 90-100% rain most of the day. Light in tue morning then steady as the day goes. Would you find a way to hunt out of the rain or skip Sunday and shot to go out Monday when it clears up?

This time of year I'm gonna hunt regardless of weather, unless it's a thunderstorm or torrential down pour.

I quit hunting in the rain. I just can't enjoy it and I go to enjoy it. Too many other pretty days to hunt in.

These days I don't care to get wet unless I'm in a blind or something with a roof. Just not enjoyable to me anymore

Having said that my son and I hunted juvi in the rain (from a blind) and saw deer all morning and a really nice 9pt. If it's just a light rain and I have co we from it I love hunting in it personally

I've always gone out, no matter the weather but the forecast has been getting steadily worse so hence the question.

If you're hunting public (not sure if you are), 90% of the guys/gals won't hunt in the rain. You'll have the place to yourself. Dress appropriately and embrace the suck.

We've got a bunch of shooting houses so I just climb up in one of those and listen to the rain patter on the tin roof. The daily grind can be pretty darn stressful so listening to rain is really nice, whether I see a deer or not.

A drizzle or light rain, yes. Driving rain or thunderstorms, no. Sat in freezing rain a couple years ago, was miserable. I ended up killing a buck I normally would have let walk, but I was ready to get down and needed a cape.

10/4 on wearing the right gear and knowing you're gonna get wet!!

Quit hunting in the rain a long time ago. Misery for me. Deer be there when the weather clears.

Be in church Sunday rain or shine.

I don't mind hunting in the rain. I just hate having to do a deep cleaning on my gun afterwards.

 

[Gravey]

A light drizzle is one thing and will go sit in a shooting house that has a top but a downpour I'm not doing that. Don't hate em that much and hate getting all of my stuff soaked. I was gonna go down to my lease today and hunt tomorrow but decided against it.

 

[BLOODTRAIL]

Not this guy. Use to do it when I was younger.

This is what we all should be doing especially me. !!!
