Default TOO WARM IN PA, DEER AREN'T MOVING

I haven't seen any deer movement in a couple of weeks, they must be moving well after dark. It must be way to warm. Anybody in Pa having the same problem?

I saw some movement this morning just after first light and that was it. With the weather supposed to get into the 80's again by Tuesday it looks like summer isn't ready to give up just yet.

I've seen 8 deer and 1 bear so far. I saw one around 8 a.m, and the rest between 5:45 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.I wont be back out until Thursday its going to be to warm. Then it looks like it might cool down a little bit.

Saw far I have hunted two days in PA, saw 5 deer, 3 this morning at 7:25 and the other two were the first day right at dark, to dark to tell what they were.

Today it was 70+ degrees so I went to New York and scouted it out and hung two stands..with all the sign I found, it looks like I will be there spending alot of time until I fill my tag.

Down here in VA, and it was a warm one last Thursday Oct. 9th, but i saw 5 deer and actually stalked within 45 yards of a nice buck...They were moving , but they were cutting the corner of the filed. I guess there isn't enough presure to keep them in the woods the entire time.....maybe a couple of weeks..

I saw 9 (possibly 10) this morning including a small basket rack 6 point. Tonight was the first sit of the season with no deer sightings on stand. I did see 6 on my way out feeding in the fields, but this was after legal hours. So far I've seen 36 on stand, and probably another 10-15 as I was leaving. Tonight was the warmest of them all though, so I'm sure it's effecting them some.

I have hunted 7 times so far and have been on average seeing around 11-12 deer every sit.

Not the case here. I had my most productive sit tonight. 2 bucks, and 7 doe. I have seen more doe in a sit but not with bucks and does together. It may be a bit warm, but it is still cooling off quite a bit at night. I will take this weather anyday over what we had last year at this time.
