Scope covers SE AK rain?

[TimberHunter]

Have hunted mainly dry areas so I don’t currently use scope covers. Trip coming up to AK where .5-1.5” of rain each day is expected.

Hunting blacktail in thicker stuff with small openings. Anyone use those clear see through covers? I’m thinking of those is case I jump one and don’t have time to remove the cover

I posted something similar in the blacktail forum, got a lot of good responses that might be helpful. Worth your time to read through.

Figured I'd post this here where I know people hunt in the rain all day. How are you keeping your scopes clear? Equipment, practices, how do you all deal with rain on your lenses?

Scope caps? Neoprene covers? Rain-x? Carry microfiber in a waterproof bag somewhere? Just accept that it's going to be wet and your sight picture's going to suffer?
