    This weekends forecast is showing 60% chance of rain but it's the first time the weather is going to drop for a little stretch. I'm wondering will the deer up and moving and should I be hunting. Of course if it's pouring I won't be out there but a light drizzle should I be in the stand with these cooler temps coming in?

    I would hunt long as it wasn't a down pour. I have seen many deer and evidence of deer movement right after a rain.

    Right after the rain ends they get up and move. I always hunt then.

    You can't kill them from the couch. Never know when that big one will show up.
