Opinion question: do you think deer move more, less or about the same during a steady rain?

I haven't really hunted enough in the rain to have determined a pattern, but I've heard of lots of people killing big bucks in the crappy conditions. Usually bc in years past, I've hunted enough to skip the crappy weather days and not regret it. But this year, I haven't been able to hunt much, and the last 3 times I've gone, it was raining (once was raining hard, the other 2 were light rain/misting). From the friday evening before gun season started til last Saturday's raining evening, I hadn't seen a single deer. But I did that afternoon as soon as the rain let up some, then I saw 3 more the next evening in the light rain, and saw a nice young 6 point yesterday evening in the light rain. Needless to say, I'm headed out again in a few to sit in the light rain.

been out in the rain all morning, seen mostly bucks(several) cruising or chasing.
Esp in the rut, bucks will move good in a light rain...all day.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I've never seen much in the rain, but I won't see any sitting at the house. I'm gonna give it a shot this afternoon as well. I think sometimes I over think deer hunting

In the rut hunt. The bucks have to be up moving around. There scrapes won't do them any good so they have to be on the search for that doe that is coming in to heat.

Just my experience, in a steady rain I don't think they move for no good reason. On just a messy, intermittent day, probably about the same as a non-rainy day. I'd suggest wind would have a factor along with the rain...if it's really windy, I don't see deer whether it's raining or not.

From my experiences, they don't move much if at all in a heavy rain. They are moving somewhat during a light drizzle. However, they are moving very good right after a very heavy rain has cleared.

If your ass has wanted to hunt at all this year where I am from then you have had to hunt in the rain. Period.

I've seen a lot of movement in a slow steady rain, especially bucks. As long as it's not a hurricane I would be out there.
