do deer move in rain?

Question

mm ya do answer if you do not know!!!!!!!

Answer 1

YES...They do. Whitetail Deer feed in cycles and the only things that disturb these feeding cycles is a full moon (Because they can literally feed all night long in the moonlight) and "rain." A light rain or drizzle on an over-cast day or late afternoon can be an incredibly productive time to be out hunting Deer as they will move about, and frequently you will catch them as they return to their bedding areas..
A downpour will mean less Deer seen altogether, but rain should never stop you from continuing a hunt if you are already out in the woods. It doesn't take much additional equipment or raingear to keep yourself fairly dry out there, along with your Firearm,Bow or Crossbow.

In addition if you stay out the Deer will be all over the place and are HIGHLY active right AFTER a rain shower or storm, as they go back out to continue feeding. The only drawback is that the wet leaves will not warn you to approaching Deer so you must stay alert and keep a close watch and eye on your surroundings..........Good Hunting!

Answer 2

Yes deer do move in the rain until the rain gets too hard then they will move deeper into the woods for protection from the rain and bed down. Drizzling rain is no problem for them and they will pretty much ignore it. An advantage to a light rain is that the overecast will keep the light subdued and they will stay out longer. Their actions seem to be governed to an extent by the light so if the light is subdued it will cause them to stay out and move around a bit longer.

Answer 3

Deer will often move after a heavy rain or snow. They often seek out better areas to bed down again with more protection. One of my most productive photography outings was near Reno righ after a heavy snow storm. The snow quit at about noon and the deer were all on the move out of the ravine bottoms.

Answer 4

Usually it depends on the intensity of the rain. Often times in warmer months, they'll stand and move around in the rain to get a break from the insects. Remember, they live in the outdoors, and are used to most anything mother nature dishes out.

Answer 5

see this is kind of simple it rains all the time in the woods and it's really like nothing to them because it rains so much so it really matters on the time of day it is like if it is morning, afternoon when they are going to the fields to eat at night on a full moon so you see it's the time of day when the deer will move

Answer 6

They will come out if it is rain a little bit but if it is a heavy downpour they will bed down. Get yourself some good rain-gear and be patient I have killed several deer in the rain.

Answer 7

I don't go hunting in the rain, therefore i don't see deer in the rain, therefore deer do not exist when it rains. They must hatch from eggs which are incubated in sunlight. Also, deer are not waterproof, so they will melt if caught out in a downpour, or else they will absorb water & the venison get all runny and that.

Sorry, but this is what happens when a philosophy major gets lost in the woods without a paddle.

Answer 8

Absolutely. They just don't move as much. They will eventually have to feed and bucks will check their scrapes in any weather. I shot the second biggest buck I have on the wall while it was raining.

Answer 9

deer will bed down in bad weather unless spooked. or if in the fall and the bucks are rutting they (the Bucks) will be searching for those all to ready doe. thus chasing them through open areas fields backyards the road even in the rain or snow

Answer 10

definately sometimes, sometimes not. Go hunt. Being in the woods is better than staying home either way.
