Going fishing in the AM but I think ill be behind my house in zone 3 for the first time since last Jan. [up] Good luck, if its raining wait for the shot [up]

You can brave it, but is it ethical to take a shot and have no blood trail to follow because of the rain?

I'm going...it just depends on how long and how hard it rains for me to let an arrow/bolt fly.

If its pissing rain im not going to take the shot, just seeing them will get my heart pumping[up]

 

[Ms Grit]

I'll be out on Saturday no matter what

 

[screaming eagle]

Afternoon for me. I have to work in the AM. If you get a double lung, you dont need a blood trail, you will see it fall.

 

[Fireman60]

Ill be sleeping if it rains. I was out for opening day on the 12th in the rain and once is enough for me. It rained to hard to take a ethical shot.

If you are confident in your shooting ability and make a clean heart lung shot, there will be more than enough blood for you to follow, even in a "monsoon".

 

[Cripple Shot]

Being disabled I must wait for a tracker to get there.

BTW, all the confidence in the world with your shot placement doesn't mean they won't run off. I've seen a deer with a heart shot run full out.

ADDED: Maybe this will be my chance to use the new law and hunt a Sunday. [up]

 

[chris n]

Ill be out after one of the 8pts I have been seeing. Hopefully I can connect. Rain or not ill be sitting in my tree. if its pouring I probably will pass up a shot[up][confusedagain]

 

[briarpatch]

I'll be in a stand both days...rain or shine!!!!

 

[DropTine249]

Good luck, if its raining wait for the shot

Hear-hear !!

I'm not going to preach, but, I lost a very nice buck because of the rain(mostly because of the rain).

Hard to track them, should the shot not be perfect, or, simply, the deer just takes a few extra seconds to expire and makes it to a tough area to locate.

Never again, for me......

Either way, best of luck. Hope you stick one !!

 

[Northernhunter]

It might be raining out on Saturday, but it never rains under my tree umbrella!!

 

[bwd172]

I'll be out in 4 on Saturday. I've got a freakin' Christening to go to in PA on Sunday. My wife is actually pushing to drop me back off in 4 on Sunday afternoon, then meet up with her brother and hunt Monday. Thinking about doing it, but his stand sites suck.

 

[tarfu68]

good luck to all who can get out today! Hope to see some pics tonight!!Stay safe...

I recently read that if a meteorologist is correct 35-40% of the time, they are GREAT at their job!!!

 

[Cripple Shot]

Tick Tock, tick tock...

I should be out and ready by 2pm. Good luck everyone.

 

[SnwbrdrRm]

went out expecting rain to get them moving from the 99% full moon the night before but didn't get any rain!

Saw a doe moving through the haze right at day light and then nothing after that...stayed out until 11
