Come on guys...I hunted on the edge of an open corn stubble field tonight...WITH BOW.....15 mph winds and 8 degrees....SILLY...I saw a doe at 360 yards...
After 1 hour I was toast...and I looked like the boy on Christmas story all wrapped up..Craziness...
Magicman is out tonight...I think he is in the woods..[:-]The Arctic Tundra of Wisc.

Cold weather can be tough, but I have always done good when it is Cold. The wind is a different story though.
I killed my 1st buck, a 9 point when it was 5 below zero. Hunting temps likeI did last week in NE though was a different ball game. It tested my determination to hunt when the temps stayed below zero all day and dipped to 20 below and even lower one night.
When bad weather rolls through they may hold tight for a day, but then they'll be on the feed, and move as little as possible. IMO you are as likely to find them feeding midday as the normal early morning, late evening routine.
I admire you guys still getting out. I admit that I haven't been out since we got all this snow. If I had a hang on next to the small piece of standing corn, I would get out there. Carrying my climber 500 yards through almost 2' of snow and 3' drifts has kept me home so far.
Well your not alone, im crazy to Im off for 8 days starting tomorrow, its on In my area you will NOT see a deer in broad day light in the fields, and its not even pressured much. I got to get way back in and catch em staging []

Dan, when I was on my way in to hunt yesterday, I saw 2 doe feeding in the middle of a grassy lane that runs through a huge thicket. It was 1:00PM.
