So I finally got my deer blind up and decided to give it a try today. But it's raining not hard just a steady rain fall.

Am I wasting my time? I was planning on staying here all night but it looks like it's going to rain all day. Do hogs come out in the rain?
 
Shot a 12 point 2 years ago in the rain. I made up my mind to hunt this feeder all day long. Right after I got there it started raining and was pretty cold. Got out of the high rack and into my truck. It was about 1 pm when the deer started moving. If it's just a light drizzle, I would stick it out. More than that, I'm probably taking it to the house, deer moving or not.
 
Raining here and just drove past a little back and white piglet in the 50lb range in a small pasture off hwy 281.
Stay put and see what comes your way, if nothing , still an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.
 
Hamilton county here Attila.
Got any bait out or just out "sittn'n'watchn'" in general?
Either way, wait n'see.
 
I've got a game camera out and just about everyday I have about 6 to ten hogs. Deer don't show up very much maybe once or twice every two three weeks. I think the number of hogs I have in the area are scaring the deer away.

So I'm just sitting here watching the feeder and reading a book.
 
I'm in a blind I built with scaffolding material sitting about 15 ft high it's quite the view...it's stopped raining.

Once it gets dark time to break open the nightvision binos (:
 
Texting from the stand is fun. It helps de-isolate you from your fellow hunters.

I don't know how the hogs are where you are, but where I am, they seem to appear quite suddenly and can disappear almost as quickly.
 
I ended up leaving around 11pm. Was up on the blind from 4pm to 11pm and was getting a little tired so I gave up and left. I was really surprised I didn't see a hog after seeing some just about everyday on the game camera.

Oh well until another day.
