Thread: 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 And got the results. Shit that wind blew the rain horizontal that day.
