Do you guys Bow Hunt in the rain?

If so, have you noticed a difference in deer Movement?

Thanks in adavance

BK

Depends how hard it's raining. A light rain with little wind may have little effect. Heavier rains and stronger winds have shown me little movement. But, if it's been raining for a day or two, I love going out when it lets up. This looks like it could be the situation tomorrow.

And of course, when it's seeking time for the bucks, rain doesn't change a lot.

Thanks for the info...do you think the Bucks are seeking does yet?

No. But that doesn't mean it can't happen at any time. Does can come into estrous early.

Generally, daytime buck activity will pick up the last 3-4 days of October.

Wives tale I have been toold, that deer hate corn in the wind, because they cannot take the loud rustling and cannot not hear a predator. I think deer move more b4 the storm to get settled. The only deer I saw this weekend was when I took the last corner iin the truck (about a 1/2 mile from my stand)1 buck and 4 does ran in front of me. Dang

When do you guys expect the corn to come out?
are they taking beans yet?

The beans are getting hit pretty hard right now in SEMN. The corn will get it next as long as they are willing to run the dryers, and most are. I expect a good chunk of corn to be gone by the last week in October. Serious corn picking is about 2 weeks away yet.

i love to hunt right after a rain they move more then

All i know is that when the ground is wet you cant hear those darn squirrels shufflen' around behind my tree stand making me think there are deer comin' when there really isn't.

I got a nice buck during a drizzle a couple of years ago and a friend got a 10 pter when she got cabin fever and had to go out to her stand during the rain.

I think that during a lite rain big deer and small deer a like feel a little more safe with the cover noise. I have noticed that with a lite rain that they will move a little earlier in the the pm than normal.

Usually if its pouring outside I will sneak around in parts that I don't have stands in as to not leave my scent all over. I think it gives us an advantage with the sound of the rain and walking on a wet quite ground rather then walking around in dry leaves. Worked for me last year.

I think they move better in a light rain.

i think they lay tight when it rains!

How is tracking in the rain? Does anybody worry about loosing the blood trail in the rain? Never wanted to risk it, I have passed on a shot or 2 because i worried about this.
