Maine - opening day and it's raining.

I'm ok with sitting under a blanket for a little bit before I head back into the woods. I, like many other Maine residents, ventured out early this morning for the opening of deer season. I got an anydeer permit so I'm even more excited! But I see why I need better rain gear. I found an ok spot out of the rain but I ended up freezing! I did a little research about hunting in the rain. It's in the hunters favor for obvious reasons, like the rain hiding your noise. Deer don't mind if it's lightly raining and they are more lax. Less paranoid of danger. I know that I continuously think I hear something walking around when there are rain drops. I bet the deer get sick of thinking everything is a threat coming along so they block it out. I really want a tree house on the game trail. Wouldn't that be great!?

Just a few quick reminders before you set off on your hunt!



One: 
Have a partner. You don't have to be side by side at all times but you need to have a way of communicating with each other. 

Two:
Tell a friend or family member when you are going and when you are coming back. They should also know where you are going..

Three:
Don't shoot anything you cannot positively identify as the game you are hunting. 

I gotta pee!

These super helpful innovations allow us to go in the woods without practically undressing.  Heard of a Shenis? Neither had we! 
Think about those times when it's freezing and you have a snowsuit on.... Ahh snow. I can't wait! Snowmobiling, sledding, ice fishing... Shoot. What was I saying? Oh ya! Did you know that Amazon.com sells the Go Girl? Check it out! Click right on it. You know you wanna shop!
