Hunting in the rain can be kinda crappy for the hunter sometimes but in general, the worse the weather, the better the hunting. I have had some great hunts in the rain.

The nastier the better. If your getting into duck hunting buy Gortex.

You can kill then in any weather. You just have to be in the place,that they want to be.
