It was thundering, lightning and raining really really hard. It was pitch dark and my headlights lit him up crossing a county road. Just a freaking SLOB typical. I went back to the cabin, crawled into bed for an hour or so. Rain stopped but I knew there was another batch on my radar. I went back, crawled into my stand over an active primary scrape. I buttoned up all my raingear and the floodgates opened. Right berfore the rain started I saw a decent buck bed down about 100 yards away. These deer are just so smart when it comes to predicting weather it;s crazy!! Rained hard for an hour then it stopped and the wind picked up and the temp dropped. I watched the buck rise from his bed and work his way towards the primary scrape. I killed him at 18 yards....Not the buck I saw earlier that morning but I was happy nonthelesss!!
You can see my raingear in the picture
Nice, PLB!! They sure do like to freshen those scrapes after a rain...
