Do you hunt when it’s raining?

Question
What are your thoughts about deer hunting in the rain.
Lots of water coming down this weekend here in NC, so I wanted to get your scientific opinion.
Rob,
I rarely bow hunt when it’s raining. This isn’t because deer aren’t active. It’s because almost all deer shot with a bow are recovered by following a blood trail. Rain can diminish a blood trail rapidly.
If it’s raining or about to rain hard, don’t shoot a deer with a bow!
Enjoy creation,
