What is it about rainy days that increases buck movement. I've seen the most action and have noticed that many hunters do also during rainy days. What started out as a slow hunt, I ended up arrowing this 8pt 150# buck. I could tell he had just got out of his bed when at 40yrds and shook the water off his coat. For what ever reason bucks can't sit still very long .:)

I don't know who's more excited, me my wife or my kids.:happy::happy::happy:

I guess you couldn't have had a more accurate shot.
That's a big accomplishment with a bow and arrow. You got indian blood in ya?;)

Animals will tend to move when it rains/when its cloudy out taking advantage of the lower light/noise the rain makes.

Masks their movements a little better.
Also to keep warm they'll spend alot of time moving about.

Congrats, I always liked still hunting on damp days. As long as its not pouring deer will be on the move and you can sneak up on them easier.

Nice shot placement dude!

Wish I could post a pic with such a neat hole, but I employ the higher velocity projectiles that deliver hydrostatic shock. These things tend to shred things up bit. :devil:
