Ok i took off from 6 to 11 off for hunting. But lookin at the forcast says rain for the frist two days and the last 2. Do i suck it up i got a tree unbrell? And shorten the range i will shoot. I've got a doe and i shot my first buck (have pics up soon gotta have the wife help not techno savey lol) but ive heard there are some bigger buck and i wanna hold out for my second tag. Any advice would be awesome guy.
Yes grab a umbrella or poncho and hunt. Might be less activity than usual but deers will still move...
Deer are especially mobile right after rain too. Last year on November 15th I was sitting in an all day rain until about 3 pm, after it stopped the woods came alive and everything was moving. Stick it out if it's going to rain like half a day too.
Call me weird but I love hunting in the rain. It really makes me feel as one with the elements. Once your soaked, it doesnt matter anymore and you start to enjoy it. When you were a kid, did the rain stop you? Not me. We played in it as long as our parents would let us. I'm 49 now and still love it. Can't tell you I've ever shot anything in the rain but give me time. I know. Weird!
I shot my big wall hanger at noon after it rained pretty hard all morning. Last year I was in stand and it was raining like a SOB. I had my rain jacket on and saw a few does but couldn't get a shot... it was POURING down rain too.
