Any success stories hunting in the rain?

rain is duck weather

Plenty, usually good movement in shitty weather leading up to a cold front.

Light or intermittent rain you will see deer moving. However I have never seen deer moving during a heavy rain despite trying many times. But as soon as the heavy rain stops they will be up and moving

There’s something very relaxing about sitting in a box stand with rain on the roof

PREMIUM nap time there

Not in the rain. But as soon as it stops raining.

If you wait to go to the stand until after it stops, you’re too late

Rain is a great time to still hunt for deer. The leaves are soft so it’s easy to sneak through the woods. They’ll often bed under evergreen trees during rain, so find a spot with lots of those and go sneaking through there really slow.

Mid 1980’s SW Miss. Uncle was new to deer hunting. Seasoned guys at camp saying pointless to hunt in a pouring rain. Uncle says “well cant kill them sitting here”. Hops on Honda 110 3wheeler in a gully washer. Sits in stand getting soaked with .30-06 742 jam master. In 15 mins shoots a 10 pt he mounted. Prob 135” deer. Goes back to camp and asks “whats all this talk about how hard deer hunting is?!” Then proceeds to say he never saw another deer like it in the woods

Yes both.

47 yr old been hunting since I was 7 or 8 never have I ever killed or seen deer in hard rain.
I have seen or killed in slight drizzle, before or after hard rain but not during a true rain. Some of my best hunts have been in tbe breaks or right after a long rain.

I’ve never seen a deer in the rain,light or heavy.I’ve had good luck shortly after rain quits though
