    What do you guys do on rainy days? I can only watch so many videos and read so much before I get bored. I can't get my mind off the season opener on the 15th, though. What do you do to prepare when the weather keeps you indoors. I have a half dozen arrows that need to be cut. I think I might do that. As for everything else I think I'm all done. Everything is washed and stored scentfree, bow is in tip top shape, what else is there to do?

    mostly i am at work so rainy days don't bother me too much unless it is the weekend. like you my stuff is ready so i will stay loose by working on my draw with some exercise tubing i got at the sporting good store. got some 50 lb tubing and that is good for doing multiple draw and hold. then when that gets boring i turn on the xbox 360 and go slaughter some n00bs in Halo (hehehe)

    Try to avoid being outside :)

    Honestly, I shot the biggest buck I have ever shot on a rainy, miserable day (failed to recover him because I made a bad shot and hit the shoulder. He survived, just fine, though). I hate hunting in the rain, but, love hunting in the rain, if you know what I mean.

    :beer: Just bought me some octoberfest and some pumpkin beer (the stuff made with pumpkin, not just spice only :)) today. Drinking one now as a matter of fact.

    Depends on the rain though too, nasty days bring out the deer. I've got a tree umbrella and a short ata bow. I cope. :D
