Opening Day: Rained Out Again?
I think it might happen again. Last year we had thunderstorms opening day, and it really put a damper on our morning hunt. Just as we got settled into our stands it let loose. I was trying to be a trooper right until the point when the lightning started. Sitting 15ft up in tree + lightning = BAD!.
The weather isn’t looking much better then last year for our bow opener tomorrow. Thunderstorms aren’t really in the forecast, but it sure looks like it is going to rain. I’m trying not to let it bring me down, but it isn’t the best scenario for opening day. I wish it would be about 50 degrees and overcast, but you take what you get I guess.
I suppose I could look at the positives here for a minute: We won’t have to fight mosquitos in this weather, and we won’t have to worry about being too warm. I also have to remember that I got some nice rain gear last year for a gift. It is looking like I might have to bust that out for opening day. Only time will tell that I guess.
There is one thing for certain. We definitely will be out there hunting–rain or shine. The only thing that will keep us from the woods is lightning, and so far, that isn’t in the forecast.
Is there an anti-rain dance I can do? If there is, let me know, ’cause I’d like to start it right about now.

This change is weather is unreal. Its been really cool here the past few days and overcast. Very little rain. Hopefully it will pass and you will just have cloudy weather.
Rain dance of video? We would like to see that.
Good luck tomorrow. I’ll think some dry thoughts for you. Make sure you all stay safe!
Ask Jenn’s Dad about the anti-rain dance. He used to do Indian dances in his Boy Scout Camp Days.
I love how you are thinking of the postives. It is pouring rain here.
Rain or shine… opening day is always magical. Good luck tomorrow!
Man – opener is tomorrow?! Exciting for you – even with the looming weather. I hope it all works out for you – but, man, if that lightning starts, you head for the barn! I am flat scared of that stuff.
I’m wishing dry weather for you – hope it helps!
