So, I just crawled out of my cave to hopefully go take one down, and I check the weather, 29 degrees, winds at 8 (enough to cut through ya), making it feel like 21!!! What have I gotten myself into!? This better pay off today... and if not today, tomorrow, cuz it's suppose to be even colder!!!


On a good note, it should have the deer movin' a little more... I HOPE.

It is freezing rain and sleet here in New York where I am. I don't mind the cold, it is the rain and cold together I don't like.

It wouldn't be so bad if I could wear 3 more layers, but as I sadly found out last week, I can't draw my bow with so many clothes on! LOL Gun season is different, I'd be alright... but sometimes we have to sacrifice and yadda yadda yadda.

Besides the fact I have been hunting so hard I haven't slept past 4:45am in 3 weeks! Sheesh!

If you can include a light rain coat under your jacket but above the other layers, it won't add alot of bulk, but it will stop the wind from slicing thru ya. Works for me.

Y'all nawthern Hoosiers are such sissies , it's 29 and windy down here too and I'd kill to be out there instead of sitting in my nice warm office raggin' you !

What are you complaining about, I'd take that weather any day of the week and be happy.

I took this guy last year late season at15 degrees.

Remember that it only takes about seven seconds after you get a shot at something to never even notice the weather.

I know, I know... Sissy. [&o]

I really, really wanted to stay out until about now... but my hunting partner was froze to the bone, and I was getting there. Bowhunting in cold weather/wind sucks!

Believe me, I took a ton of razzin' from my husband via text message, as did his best friend (my huntin' buddy), we got called everything. LOL Easy for him to say, he shot his buck this year with a T-Shirt on!!

Oh well, that's probably going to be it for me until Monday. Got too much stuff going on this weekend, leaving to go out of state tomorrow...

FREEZE!!!!!! Hell thats a heat wave up here in Wi, were sitting at 17 with winds 10-20mph. Talk abotu freezing when you hunt up here along the rivers lol.

I hear ya! The wind has been pretty brutal for the past week! I like the cold but can't stand the Wind... A little wind is good but 15 - 25 is a bit much!

Well, I was thinking the winds were going to be calm today, I got out there with 10mph and by the time I got home it was 15 gusting to 20.... NOT predicted, once again. Idiot forecasters. If they want to pay me that kind of money to guess at what the weather is going to be, I'd be more than happy to take it.

Suppose to warm back up next week, and just in time for prime early rut activity too. Maybe by this time next week I will have my tag filled and not have to worry about it anymore.
