    Wondering if any of y'all wait till it rains to check your cams. Just wondering because I know people say that rain keeps your scent to a minimum. What are y'all's thoughts?

    I don't wait for rain but that is a great time to go. Obviously you want to go when the deer aren't moving.

    ^Yup!

    I won't necessarily wait for rain, but I like it when it is raining.

    Won't wait for rain, I check usually mid day around 1 or 2 o'clock and make sure I spray down with scent killer

    my opinion .... NO any moisture getting inside the camera is a bad thing
