Absolutely. A light to moderate rain is my favorite time. I won't go if it's a monsoon.

if it is a toad strangler (heavy downpour) i wont head out but i do hunt the rain i have hunted in pretty tough rain when you hunt in the rain its more sight hunting because you wont hear anything.onetime i was watching the news and they said it was going to rain the next i said oh well i will be there anyway one of my city friends asked the dumbest question i have ever heard she asked.....the deer are out there when it rains i just looked at her and said no they go get a hotel room for the night

what cooner said, and if you hear thunder or see lightning.. then i wouldnt even waste my time. i've never seen a single deer around when a storm was nearby.

I too like light rain. Last year i arrowed a buck from the ground on a rainy morning.

I have a favorite seceret spot that I hunt only when there is a light rain or really damp morning because it's the only way I will ever get in there quietly.

Yep. I love hunting in the rain, it not only covers up some of your sound if its a light rain the big bucks seem to move almost every time.

Yes, hunting in a light rain can be great as it washes human scent and makes for some silent sneaking thru the woods while still hunting. While setting on the ground during light rain, I've have had deer walk up to me, smell my feet, before turning inside out and running away. This would've never happened had it not been raining. Deer will bed up during heavy rains and storms, but will move just before the storm hits and soon after the rains stop.

I personally have never hunted in the rain but i do know that u will have more chances of getting a deer in the rain then u do watching tv.

If you do your homework and know where your deer migrate in bad weather (if their patterns change) i'd image you could increase your chances. I'd be curious to read any research completed on deer habits during approaching severe weather - Ice, High Wind, Heavy Rain.
It's hard to beat hunting turkey in a Missouri Thunderstorm, it just doesnt get any better.

Hunt RAIN OR SHINE but be careful.

Rain helps to quite the ground noise while walking, and
the deer tend to slow down in the Northwest area. WA state.

YES! WE HAVE HAD GOOD LUCK IN THE RAIN.WE WERE IN A DRY BLIND DURING THE RUT.

i have had great success with hunting in the rain, especially in archery season. i once walk up on a nice 8 point in an orchard during a heavy rain. i was walking with my hood up ,it was pouring, i got into the orchard and droped the hood and there he was, at about 12yd ! it seems to negate their radar and cleans the air. munching on apples ,he didn't know i was there

I'll stalk when it's raining. Deer seem to hold tight in heavy cover next to creeks and streams when it is raining. I have been sucessful in getting within bow range on numerous occassions.
