Bridge Buck- Public Land- Hunt The Rain

[exojam]

Congrats Bridge! I’m always surprised at the amount of people who won’t hunt in the rain and how many don’t have good rain gear. I’ve had good luck in and around rain storms

I've had my Rivers West gear for a long time.

Supposed to be rain Tomorrow early in the evening... might have to sneak out for that!!

Congrats on the buck.

I also use RW but have not found anything to keep my hands dry, even trying some of the medical gloves either Dewey on Stanley had suggested.

I have also noticed the same scenario as you posted above. I think bucks feel more secure moving in bad weather on the public I hunt. I can't say I see bucks everytime it's nasty, but if I see a deer during bad weather it's usually a buck. I think they almost know people won't be out. I also believe they have become conditioned to move mid day. I couldn't tell you how many bucks I've seen over the years sneaking through like a cat between 10 and 2 o'clock.

We've shot a bunch of Bucks between 10 and 2. Many of them were with does during gun season.

You know........... We need pics !!!!!!!

Against my better judgment...

Thanx for sharing. Love that it's in the truck.

Thanks for reminding me of one of my threads- I think I'll bump it!

On second thought most of the pics are gone due to Photobucket. May have to start a new one.

Congrats Bridge!!

It seems I hunt in the rain a couple times a year. I haven’t seen anything to show hunting is better or worse during rain, but I do know I’d rather bowhunt in it than gun hunt. Due to the scope/rain issue.

I think the security a swamp gives the Bucks helps, add in the rain and many times the Bucks go crazy. I've had as many as 4 different Bucks go by me in the rain over 3 hours. I've also had it rain and observe no activity at all.

In the Swamps I've had enough action to make rain a viable option.
