OK, here's my two cents on hunting in the rain. As long as lightning is not popping all around me, I'm going to stick it out regardless how hard or light it is raining for this one simple reason: I want to be in that stand when it quits. I can't tell how many deer sightings and/or kills I've experienced immediately following a downpour. In fact, the largest buck I've seen to date was right after a 2 hour gully washer. And another thing, when you live and hunt in Louisiana you kinda have to get used to hunting in the rain.
