Title: Hunting in the rain
Post by: predhunter82 on October 27, 2012, 11:35:04 AM

Seeing as to how we are supposed to be receiving some very wet weather over the next few days I thought it would be interesting to hear everyones views on hunting in the rain. Do you not go at all? Have you had decent results during or steady drizzle or light showers? Just something to think about I know I will be chomping at the bit to get out during the week and as long as the winds stay below 10 mph I will probably be out.

I've went shotgun hunting in a drizzle for fox. I didn't care for it since a lot of things illuminated with my headlamp and looked like eyes. David Kaprocki wrote a book and said he liked to hunt in a drizzle.

A slight drizzle might be alright but anything more than that stay home.I have hunted in the rain and snow in the past and it just doesn't seem to be very productive and plus its hard on equipment.

I read a book on fox hunting and the author said wet damp conditions are prime for fox hunting, like a light mist of rain or light fog.  I just got a red fox on monday in the afternoon in the rain at like 4:15 out of my deerstand.
