Pays to hunt in the rain

Lots of people cant be bothered hunting in the rain but i tend to do quite good when its wet. The animals move around abit more, easy to see fresh as sign and i just see more.
Had a hunt today in the rain in a area thats not big on deer numbers but i saw 3 in the well hunted DOC block and managed to shoot this one from ten yards lol

Good one, I also have good success in the rain. easier to be sneaky and all that.

Did you get the fawn too?

Still in the belly;)

What scope were you using?

Nice one

Look at the length of its face.

The last wet day hunt I went on I came across five sika standing in the riverbed. Needless to say I ended up with nothing. Could not decide which one to take, and I dicked around to long. Breaking my own bush hunt rule, don't fuck around.

Yep pigs hearing and smell is a bit poo when its pouring - you can get real close.

Light drizzle is usually great for hunting. They like a bit of dressing on their salad.

I can remember the shittiest night out duck shooting after meeting @Tahr and @7mmsaum earlier on the same day and they both went out 'Snee Rd' way:ORLY: And got the results. Shit that wind blew the rain horizontal that day.;)
