I have avoided them in the past but I might just have to get out this weekend and try to hammer some crows. Am I pushing a losing hunt?

Hi Barry,

On and off rain can work out pretty good.  Getting out there right before a big rainy front rolls in, can be greatness in my experience.  Moderate to heavy steady rain is not good.

Years ago I purchased some quality rain gear and through I would clean up on crows on rainy days.  Not so much!  They won't be flying.

Regards,

Do it at your own risk. 

On Sunday we went out and fought showers thinking they would flood in between rain periods....WRONG.  Shot 13

On Monday we went out and found fog, wind and rain over a field of soupy mud.  Shot 11.

Good Luck,

 

Demi

P.S.  Our hunting was in a feeding setup.  YMMV if you are Running & Gunning.

A light rain is one of my favorite times to shoot them...light misty rain...I swear they cannot see you! Just get cammied up and plenty of ammo and let 'er rip![spoiler]

A mist is one thing, light rain is another!

I will sometimes take a chance if it calls for say a 40% chance of rain and hope I can get my licks in before it starts raining. If it does start while I am in the field I just pack up and head home. I don't like getting my equipment wet.

Barry,

We haven't done well looking back on my records, especially warm , humid conditions. That said got a call this a:m when I got back to the truck from deer Huntin and owner said he was covered up with them this a:m but I'm gone wait for a better time than this weekend.
By the way the Special early gun hunt was a bust, weather kept folks in I guess. Only heard 2 shots and they were mine, 2 less female coyotes to breed and kill fawns and got a bonus no shoulders between my feet, non poisonous thank the Lord. It's amazing how alert you get after that happens!

I don't like rain but a little cloud cover for me works better then clear skies!
