weather for sat
Now the reports is for rain and dropping temps from60s in the morning to 40 by noon with wind and a chance of a thunderstom.
I was thinking about going out with xbow but with that kind of report I dont think the deer will be moving much. also might keep some of the gun guys home.what do you guys think.

RE: weather for sat
I have seen and killed quite a few deer on days when it was pouring rain and windy as can be. During November you are liable to see deer at any time and anywhere regardless of weather conditions. My forecast for Sat. is similar but they are not calling for the falling temps, just wind, rain and t-storms. I'll be out tomorrow!

RE: weather for sat
dont know what to think... Ive shot them in the rain and i saw a 150 class this year with 30mph gusting winds. if anything the added people in the woods sittingor walking around might get them up. If your the guy sitting still.........who knows what could happen. Im going to hunt the edge of creek bottom with thick woods to my left and a cherry thicket it front along with an open field to my right. I think with the weather and the people they will be heading either to that thick creek bottom or that cherry thicket.

I'm off and I'm going. Raingear, thermos of coffee, thermos of chicken soup, and it's game on. One thing that is in our favor is the deer don't have the luxury of not being out there tomorrow. Through the rain, wind, and high temps they will be there so I will too.
Hug the pine cutovers and thick stuff that breaks the wind and catch one slipping, that's the plan anyway.

Just watch the weather report and its calling for near 70 and rain/thunderstorms for the morning for Fredericksburge Va.
The wife just told me the kids are gone for a sleep over so I get to go in the woods tomorrow. Hope its worth it.

RE: weather for sat
I am bringing two sets of rain gear and two sets of warm clothes just in case I get soaked in the morning. I was invited to bowhunt up in Loudoun County with a good friend. Although I really wish there were better conditions to hunt, I cannot pass up the chance to get around some bigger bucks. I will be at it all day, rain or shine.
