I don't know if it affects the coyotes but it sure affects me. Seriously, depending on how hard it is raining you might still have some success. For the most part, around here anyway, the coyotes will bury up in thick cover and try to stay dry. Come to think of it, that's what I do too.

Back when I was young I'd try anything so I hunted in the rain (not down pours just a slow light rain) and seen a lot of critters. But due to getting older I don't do that any more.

I've only done one stand in the rain. (Not on purpose) We called in the prettiest coyote we have seen in Alabama. Light rain for about 35 minutes before he cane charging in.

Most critters will hold up and wait the rain out. It's pretty common to see a lot of movement after a heavy rain or storm of any kind.

Personally, I don't hunt in the rain. I don't like getting soaked and/or having to go over my weapon to make sure it's dry.

Also, I've seen rifle bullets fragment in mid-flight, by hitting a rain drop. You'll hear the hydro-static shock sound, but it's premature of hitting the animal. Plus, you'll see a "puff" of grey lead in mid-air, between the rifle muzzle and the animal.

Good hunting, Bowhunter57

DON'T Waste your time attempting to hunt 'Yotes in the rain. They seem far smarter than soaking wet hunters. Cliffy
