    Deer live in the rain. They don't stay indoors so you need to be in a stand when they are there. :D

    Its been raining quite a bit up here in WI also, but I don't mind as long as I can get out I'm there. Besides I just shot a nice 10 in the rain last night. So get out whenever you can. It's always worth it, even if all you get is soaked.

    I just came in from hunting in the rain...started out as a regular sit witha sprinkle. By the end of the hunt it was coming down pretty good and my range had dwindled from 40 yards to about 15 yards. I would not even think of touching the trigger unless it was as close to a guranteee as there is.
