brokenarrow,

Good luck on your muley hunt ! As far as the bucks in the rain, depending on how bad it is they will be holding tight. If it is a drissel I have found those bucks up and feeding. if it quits raining before it gets dark those deer will be out feeding everywhere.

Generally speaking, if it is cold, wet and windy the deer will bed down out of the wind somewhere. Other than that, they just pretty much ignore it.

if its windy they will be holding tight.
if its just rainy it could get them up and moving.
5 days if 5 days make the most of it rain or shine!

They just ignore it if it's not that bad, but good luck!

I have had poor luck on mulies in the rain but maybe its just me. Now right after a rain I have seen deer get up and move during a time of day that they normally would not.

Blacktails on the other hand seem much more active in the rain and I have had some of my best hunts in the rain. Just my experience.
