I used to gun hunt all the time in the rain, killed several bucks that way! I have sat bow hunting a few times in a light mist, deer do seem to move! Friday it down poured all day, let up a little in the early evening decided to take a walk sure enough jumped 5 deer not far from where I hunt they were on the move after the rain! As stated its not ideal but go for it!

I generally don't let the weather keep me indoors. I love stalking on wet ground it is so much easier to be quiet.

The very first deer (doe) that I killed with a bow was taken in a steady soaking rain and a lot of the rest were killed in the same type of weather.

In moderate temps, I'd rather hunt in a light rain than in any other conditions. The rain obscures your sounds and smells and movements. If you're careful and alert, it can be a big help when still hunting in the woods.
