Default RE: Hunting in bad weather

Two things I have noticed over the years...

Deer move a lot more than people think when it's very windy. I'm talkin' blustery weather. I have shot deer as well as my hunting buddies when the wind howls. I was always led to believe they were much less active because their senses werenot as keenduringhigh winds. That may bethe case but don't tell that to the deer we have shot under those conditions.

Also, immediately after a severe rain storm get youryourself into the woods. Especially those storms that last a few days. To me, as soon as the storm lets up, it is absolutley the best time to be hunting. It seems that every deer in the woods is up and moving. The same may be said for snow but I have noticed more deer activity after the rain.
