Where I live we get more than average rainfall.As long as its not bucketing down the crows seem to carry on as normal.After a real heavy downpour they seem to come out in force after any worms that have made it to the surface.
Same here.. Heavy downpour, they hunker down until its over. Light rain, misty stuff, on and off medium stuff, they fly in it.... Same is high winds, they hunker down til it blows through.
Wet is not that bad. Wet can dry........now MUD is another matter....
That is for sure. Have to see our Manitoba gumbo in the spring or after periods of extended rainfall. Many backroads are unpassable. Some dudes cut them up real bad with big 4X4's and travel is tough even when things dry up.

One of the best days of crow hunting I ever had was on a drizzling-foggy morning. You could hear wings and Cawwing all around, then suddenly there it was at about 10 yards.
You should have seen the look on there faces an instant before the BOOM! Hahaha

Wow, I have never had any luck at all in the fog. Birds just sit around and call all morning. I mean I might kill a dozen or so, but nothing like a normal hunt.

I don't know why we did so well that day, but it was a great time. The fun of it was the surprise of them "appearing out of nowhere." It hasn't worked that well since, but we haven't had those conditions since either.
I hunted on a real foggy day this year on a flyway approximately 5 miles from the roost. I scouted the day before and there were alot of birds but when we went on the next day (the very foggy morning), the birds never showed up. Hunted it a couple days later on a clear day and shot the heck out of them. I know foggy days are supposed to be very good but on this particular day, IT SUCKED!!
On another note, I have done very well on foggy days but I did have this one bad experience with it. It was soooo foggy that they never flew.
We have experienced the same thing with fog here in Texas. We thought, based on other reports, it would be great crow shooting, but they don't seem to be flying in the "soup". Once it burns off later in the morning, the crows start coming in again.
As far as rain, as other stated above, light on and off misting is fine, but heavier rain lock them up.
