Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

That does not sound good. Projected above normal temps for the Northeast the month of Oct....I'd hate to push forward and wish Nov was here however, cooler weather would be nice. The next week in PA in my area is pushing 80.....with no rain in site.[&:]

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

You're preachin to the choir there my friend! It was pushing 90 here yesterday, and will be the rest of this week......

BUT, by Sunday, the highs will be in the mid to upper 60's.......BIG cold front coming in Saturday night, and you can bet yer bottom dollar I'll be in a tree Sunday morning.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

Ditto here...Sunda night as well...homework allowing.[:@]

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

I long for the days of early October frosts, they have been scarce here the last few years. I didn't even make it out opening day today......lack of sleep, tired from work and warm temps made me stay home.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

Man, its been frigid here. Down in the 30's at night, highs in the mid-50's to low 60's. Rain all the time. I can't wait for November.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

The first couple of weeks during bow season, it was really hot around here. It has fianlly cooled down and the bucks are starting to run with the does.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

Yup, I got a final Monday afternoon, but I'll be in the stand all weekend, and hopefully get to hunt sunday night if I get some studying done. Heck hopeffully i wont need to hunt sunday night!

Rob we just got some rain but I have not heard what is projected for Wi. You find this info online pal?

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

It's getting ridiculous. This will make 4 straight years of "too warm" weather for hunting purposes.For the last 3 seasons, temps in late Oct./early Nov wre pushing 80 at times. This translated into little or no daytime activity during the rut - the time I save my vacation for. Last year we had just a couple nice, cool days during the rut and I killed a doe and 2 nice bucks during that time period. The rest of the time, I was sitting there, too warm and not seeing anything.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

Tony, no I watched out local forecast and it's projecting above normal for PA throughout the Northeast into Maine. This week is suppose to warm up as the week continues. I was hoping for just the opposite. I do however remember last Oct and sitting the first couple weeks into the 80's as well. Too damn warm, I was out there but it was too warm for much movement.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

I just seen on weather channel here at work that starting next week highs in the 50's and 40's for the low's.
This is welcome news. Thanks for the PM by the way.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

Yeah, next week looks better, rain forecasted here for next Monday but the high of 60's...I hope what they said was wrong.

It gets very disheartening very quickly when the temps are this warm. But, success can still be had in these types of weather, but it certainly would make for a better mindset with cooler temps.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

Mid 80s here in MD, sux. Its SO dry here also, and I mean dry.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

Our high here yesterday was 96. Looks like we may get some relief this weekend. Man I hope so.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

Its been above avg all over the place. I figured it was too warm yesterday to go out but with the front that was pushing through I figured why not try it, I was in my stand at around 5 adn no more than 15-20 minutes later I see 2 deer, a button buck and nice little fork horn, eating acorns and walking right out infront of me. I could have had them both but decided to pass. 1 hour later I spot movement in the same location the other 2 came from, this one had bone! I was going to take him if a shot allowed. Never did. One branch kept me from taking the large 7 pointer. He had Height, Width, but not much mass :(. I think I may let him go another year. This is the most deer ive seen in one sitting for over a week and a half.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

sounds like your getting what we just had. There was a new record high the other day set for this time of year [:@]

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

As long as it cools down ny the end of the month......"we'll" be FINE!......lol

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

i was thinking the same Rob. 70 i can deal with. much past that and i just dont like it.

wish we were doing the whole moving thing this weekend....85 saturday....that dont sound too fun...

but....im off school monday and tuesday...looks like with any luck those could be GOOD days...im not hunting my honey hole till i get a better day. crazy weather thats for sure...the 15th of Sept i dont think broke 60...what a day to be in the tree....why couldnt it stay at 60 or keep droppin from there?!?!

now how wierd is that....weather all says mostly sunny/partly cloudy...NONE call for rain....thought it looked cloudier than that....and its pouring. looks like im gunna get SOAKED walking to class...thats funny...2 of my buddies ARE hunting right now...probably been a good morning...really wanted to go myself...but now that i know they are getting soaked...well :D

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

I don't deal with heat very well. Especially during hunting season. It is much easier to stay warm than it is to try and stay cool on stand. This week with temps back in the 80's I really don't miss being on stand so much.

RE: Son oab, above average temps the month of OCT!
 

Its hot, the bugs suck, you cant hunt your best stands bc in order to walk all the way to them your soaking wet from sweating! The buck, at least in the SE PA arent moving during daylight hours. I cant remember it being like this for sometime. I like PA but I sure wish I was hunting where these other guys are where its 40s and 50s. Ugh!
