This is my first spring chasing the elusive turkey with a bow (or anything really) and while I’ve been trying to read up on the subject, one thing I’ve missed is what’s the effect of rain on a hunt. From the experienced hunters – if it’s raining do I pass on that morning or afternoon? Do I expect similar activity? Is it better before, during, or after a front moves through or the same? Any guidance greatly appreciated.

took advantage of the 50% off sale at scentblocker and bought me some raingear. Looks nice, fits nice, well made (it appears to be) ………………..everything looks great……………loud as can be. How the heck does a company that specializes in hunting clothes, in the hunting industry, produce a piece of clothing so friggin loud?

It has been about 10 days of no rain and looks to be at least another 10 more with none in the forecast. The fields I see daily look stressed. Opinions, how will the dry weather effect the deer’s use of the beans? Season opens in 14 days and I kinda have all my early season eggs in the bean basket.:cry:

Going to New Mexico in September for elk hunt. spot and stalk. needing a good but lite rain suit. anyone got any ideas? Thanks

Anybody know of any rain gear for hunting i can swing for my upcoming Colorado elk trip that wont break the bank? Thx, RH

Has anyone used the army goretex parka and pants as a over layer in light rain? If so how effective was it? Just looking at some in woodland pattern on eBay for a good price.

VERY happy that it has been raining for 2-3 days straight. Has put a dampiner’ on the rehab shooting. Injured myself and have backed way off in bow weight. Actually stopped shooting all together for a while.

From front to back:

24# 66" Polaris puts 26# at 30" to use.
24# 60" Recon for 32# at 30" (just set up today; have yet to shoot this one…recently).
24# 66" Excel Left handed 28# at 30" (as my left lower back and leg have an issue; have yet to shoot this one…recently).
30# 66" Excel Right handed for a whopping 35# at 30" (shot this 19 times yesterday and all is well).
28# 70" Horizon for 34+# at 30 inches (shooting this one is going well…carbon helps).

Had been shooting only the PSE Snake and the 24# limbs for a while, after the break. Happy to have rain and making progress with shooting.

Somehow managed to lose my mt050 jacket from cabelas. It worked great, but I’m wondering if there’s something better. Sitka, kuiu mt050, or other suggestions? For stand hunting. Thanks!
