Thread: What do deer do when it's raining?

Not an experienced stalker, but I have some big doe eyes. I reckon deer would do what you'd do - stay warm and dry, chill out with the famdam, maybe have a sneaky shag. Walking around in the rain probably isn't high on the list

Not sure what they do when it's pissing down , don't really want to either . I do no when it immediately stops raining is a great time to bag one , that's the case in fiordland anyway. Me and a mate got cabin fever and went for a walk in horizontal rain sleet and snow to see a stag feeding flat out in a really exposed river flat one day . He was as happy as a pig in shit . We froze our arse off . Hinds wouldn't be that silly .

I have more success when it's raining.Your own scent is dampened quite considerably and stalking onto clearings etc from wet quieter bush certainly helps.
Not all deer like wet dripping canopy and will be quite happy out in the rain,besides they love a little dressing over their salad.
Under extreme conditions they can/will be laid up under overhangs,windfall etc,another chance to jump them and in most cases very close indeed.
