Default RE: 15-25mph too much?

Weather effects us way more than the deer as far as comfort levels. Deer live outside year round and don't have the luxury of saying "I'm not gonna feed today, it's windy(or raining, or anything). Their bodies produce a lot of body heat through their digestive system, they have to move/feed at sometime. I do believe fronts and weather stimulate moredeer movement but I do not believe that bad weather keeps them from moving all together. I make sure I have good raingear and good warm clothes for cold or windy days and if I can hunt I am going, you just never know what is going to happen (but I still have buck tags too). I killed my bigger buck this season on a windy,rainy day(20 mph with gusts in the 30's and heavy rains at times). Trust me I almost talked myself out of that hunt, but I finally decided tojust go and be glad I was hunting and hope for the best.

Now I understand what you are saying about having no buck tags left and only needing to kill a couple more does, and as far as that goes I would say you still have plenty of season left to accomplish that. Tomorrow and Saturday are looking good so if you don't really have the urge to go and youfeel like you are just going through the motions take ahunt or two off and stick one later this weekend or next week or next month, whenever. Don't burn yourself out. Just my .02, either way good luck.
