thanks for the info wolf,
where abouts in minnesota do you hunt?
ya i think we should have a good chance that the rut might be in full swing during first weekend.
i hope it stays cold though, but knowing my luck it will probably warm up the friday before deer hunting.
im not a hundred percent foresure but one year about 3 years ago it got real cold the night before deer hunting and when we woke up on saturday it was only 9 above. that morning we shot one six pointer, one eight pointer and one twelve. all within about one hour of each other and all within 300 yards of each other.
i think the cold makes em move, but i could be wrong.
I hunt by Wabasha County, Things are looking very good if the weather is like this or colder. The place where I'm hunting holds some big deer, I hope to get a crack at 1 of them when season opens. My bro saw a big, wide nontypical with a drop tine last week, that's the one I'm hoping to get a shot at. We saw that deer there for 3 years now. You are right the weather does play a role in deer movement. Let's just hope it is not warm like last year. OH well, we got a week and a couple of days before opener, hope it gets colder when season opens. Good luck guys and gals.
