best time to hunt

[hunter2126]

For me i think the best time to hunt is when is raining loudly. Because if you make a sound the deers will not hear it as clear as they would when it is a clear day who agrees?

I'd disagree slightly. I find that deer are more alert when there's a heavy wind, rain, etc. They know their senses are dulled and seem to be more weary because of it. But I have found deer seem to move more in a slight drizzle.

I once hunted squirrels in a heavily hunted area near an airport. The squirrels had learned to freeze up whenever a plane landed or tookoff. They would stop whatever they were doing and look around. After the noise died down they would go back to whatever they were doing before.

I love hunting in a light drizzle......or a wet snow. Especially if it is right at the beginning of the front.

Deer will bed down during heavy rain or high winds. They don't feel safe moving about. They'll usually travel only very short distances from their beds, and that's just to grab a snack and a drink when needed. Remember, you are not the only predator in the woods they have to watch out for.

I find it best right after a rain. The ground is soaked and quiet, and the deer will be up moving since the pounding has stopped.

The best time to hunt is any time of day in any type of weather. You can't kill em from the sofa.

I favor hunting just before a bad weather sets in. I like a light drizzle too. But I'll settle for most any day that the Lord blesses me with time off.

Anytime I can get into the woods is a good time to hunt

The rain hides your scent to a degree also, but I like to be comfortable. I'm getting old I guess.
