Whitetail Deer HuntingGain a better understanding of the World's most popular big game animal and the techniques that will help you become a better deer hunter.
I dont know about everywhere else, but its December 17th and the high today was 55!? Whats with that? How does that affect deer hunting? Do they bed down more? Indiana weather is killin me
I hear you milesrhit10,I hunted all day sat and this evening and i saw one deer running that i jumped up..Here in east tn it was 70.It just plain sucks.I guess ill try it again in the morn.Good luck on your future hunts..And be safe..
Yah its not normal for Indiana either. Cant figure it out? I went squirrel huntin this afternoon and could help but sweat in jeans and a long sleave shirt. I wish it would get cold so the deer would start movin'.
Here in MO it's been warm as well. In my experience, they will bed down until very late in the day, feed all night then back to bed early morning. If youknow where their bedding area is,try to sneak in there pretty close (but not too close, you don't want to spook them)and set up on a travel route to leading tothe feeding area.
we've been hitting the 70s here. yesterday i actually broke a sweat in the woods and all i had on was bdu pants with long johns, a thermal shirt, and a hooded sweatshirt. also i was outside earlier tonight digging in our garbage for something that was accidnetally tossed in a short sleeve shirt.
i should'nt be able to do that a week before christmas.

Deer around here don't move much during the day when it is this warm. Early morning or evening. They already have their winter fat built up. They get warm just like us.
Yep just got back from southern ILL and we had mid 60"s all weekend and we saw a buch of little bucks but none of big boys came out to play. We were seeing there tracks so they were moveing late and going to bed early!! Walt
