How is it hunting deer in the rain? Do they move around or just bed down??

Bow hunting in the rain leaves too much risk of losing the deers blood trail...Shotgunning in the rain is a totally different story! It's a great time to still hunt and for stalking...I limit my shot range to within 30 yards...At 30 or less with 00buck the deer is going to drop like a ton of bricks!!!

I agree 100%!

Last year I snuck up on a big ten point bedded in a blowdown during a day much like today. Got within 10 yards before he jumped up and stood broadside at 20 yards. Only problem was, I didnt have a weapon.
