I didn't want to hijack JD's thread about his morning hunt, but Bob mentioned something that I have been curious about lately..... He mentioned that after a soaking in the rain, one should get at the mag tube and spring and clean and dry them out. I can do this to my mag tube on my SX3. I have heard that it can...

Unless it is a downpore, I don't mind hunting in the rain. My question to you fellows has to do with using foxpro callers in the rain (or wet conditions such as a snowy day). Do you use them in the rain? Do you cover them? How do they sound in a dry bag? etc Thanks.....getting closer to buying a foxpro Pat
