The weather guessers have predicted a wet Sunday on day 2 of firearms. Anybody had any luck hunting deer in all day rains? How does it affect the deer?

They still move in the rain especially when pressured like on opening weekend. I'm just seeing a 20% chance for Sunday.

I have killed in the rain Two or three times. I dont mind a little rain, but a down pour has me headed to a blind. Like Hoosier Hunter said, the pressure on the deer during opening weekend, or any weekend during firearm season will have them up and moving all day.


Exhale slowly, and squeeze

Deer don't smell as good in the rain and everything will be quieter when you are walking... Can be a huge advantage....

That's Why they make rain gear, I do not mind hunting in the Rain, I have Gortex rain gear, and it works well, Deer move very well in rain, I have killed some of my better bucks in Rain, But I would prefer to Hunt without Rain.

I used to biw hunt in the rain and had good movement. It could be a blizzard on opening weekend of gun and a lot of deer will still be moving.

To many days to hunt for me to hunt in the rain unless its opening weekend of gun season. I have Walls waterproof bibs and jacket that keep most of the water off plus its super warm. All that said I still dont like to hunt in the rain. h.h.
