Steady rain................just depressing, no matter how high my spirits were to start I just get bummed really fast when I am getting soaked. I don't think I have seen more then a handful of deer my whole life in steady rain.

A hard rain with wind and lightning, a treestand is not a safe place. Depending on what time of the season it is, nothing else usually stops me if I have the time off.

The sound of that steady rain on the top of the ground blind. good camping chair. That's some good sleep right there.
Maybe I'll see a deer or two when the eyes are open

Downpours and lightning are really the only things that keep me indoors.
I can deal with the wind, I just hunt from a groundblind and hope the wind calms.
I can deal with snow.
I can deal with a slight drizzle.
I can deal with heat.
It takes life threatening weather to usually keep me indoors. Even if the weather is crappy and I won't get a shot; a bad day in the stand always beats a good day at work.
