Sick of the rain

Post by Butt »

Anybody else sick of this weather. Seems like everyday I've had off since opening day, it's rained. Not that I'm a fair weather hunter, but I'm afraid of losing the blood trail. Took my six year old out Sunday morning for awhile, first time for him to experience bowhunting. Had a pop up blind set up a week ago for this outing. Of course it was raining, but the blind is water proof( thank god). Didn't see any deer but had a few good laugh's, as my son had eaten baked beans the night before. Let's just say I spent more time with my head hanging out the window than in :shock: and trying to keep him quiet . ( He's got a quite a giggle) :lol: :wink:

Good luck to all "Butt"

Butt, I feel the same way. I've gotten so tired of it raining every chance I have to hunt that I picked up one of those string trackers, so I don't have to worry as much about losing the blood trail. I haven't sighted it in yet, but I'll try and do it later today, in the rain of course.

We cant get rid of it. Not the heavy stuff, but the constant drizzle. Some of my friends are totally disgusted that they cant get in the woods. :(

Its the blood trail that concerns them Tye. Or I should say, the lack of a blood trail.

Yup, I hear ya's about the rain. Man I don't know if it'll ever stop. On the other hand, they're calling for possible snow periods tonite, which gets me excited a little.

We picked up 1 to 3 last night depending on elevation. I peersonally got 2 but the Daytime rain has made it dissappear already xcept on North facing slopes.
