Borngeechee Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Does anyone go out hunting knowing that it will rain? I'm itching to go squirrel hunting tomorrow but they are forecasting rain. Do squirrels even come out while raining? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Field_Ager Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I am not a big squirrel guy, but having spent a good deal of time in the woods, I would say squirrel activity is low to non existent when raining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pygmy Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I shot a limit of squirrels in an hour Tuesday morning in a light but steady rain... I wouldn't go out in a down pour, but I wouldn't hesitate to put on my lightweight rain parka and hunt squirrels in a light rain or intermittent showers... In the wet woods, you can walk VERY quietly... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45/70 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 A rainy day is when I dig out all my dirty Brass and punch out the primers and fire up the Tumbler and due a load of brass. And enjoy a adult Beverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFA-ADK Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Love hunting bad weather! If you have the right gear rain is no big deal. I would go and see what its like. You can always bail if it gets bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And enjoy a adult Beverage. I'm going to get into reloading one of these days. It just seems smart.Love hunting bad weather! If you have the right gear rain is no big deal. I would go and see what its like. You can always bail if it gets bad.That's true. The only thing that sucks is its a 3 hour round trip plus tolls just to get to a place I can legally hunt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Being in the woods during a rain can be so soothing to the soul. This time of year, all you need is a light rain jacket and you are good to go. If you get a shot, well that's good too. If you made time to go, just go! If you are like me, you wont regret it!

The_Real_TCIII Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I def need to invest in a nice light weight rain jacketi don't buy anything that isn't rain proof, from light to heavy. Our hunting weather is too unpredictable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 In defense to my earlier comment, not to say I don't go out in windy days or (light) rainy days either. I listened to the wind howl and the acorns drop all afternoon. Took this guy at the end of the day today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greensider Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 i like being in the woods when its raining especialy just as it stops the critters move well as soon as the sun comes out i keep a pop up ground blind just for this reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneHunter Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Deer hunting in the rain is nice if your still hunting , no walking around on corn flakes ! But the reverse of that is the Deer aren't walking around on corn flakes either ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 This time of year, squirrels are nuts about the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
