I hunt in all weather and actually prefer some type of weather out of the ordinary. The deer tend to act in a specific manner in certain weather and knowing this will actually give you an edge during a hunt.

Days that are rainy/windy the animals more since they cannot manage a good scent profile and they keep looking to get up wind into a neutral scent.While they are preoccupied withmanaging this activity you get a chance to stalk them more effectivly and with the rain hiding your scent and the wind making your movements - I have walked right in on small podsbrosing and nosing about.

Snow if the best time to hunt - formany of the same reason with rain, with the addedbenefit of tracking. It doesseem to me that deer can sight you better in a moderate snow, but if you more in slowbelow wind you can have some great oppurtunites.


I have takenmy animals 2:1 in poor conditions. I am also training my kids to get up as plannned and head out no matter what mother nature has cooked up.
