Default IDEAL HUNTING WEATHER FOR BOWHUNTERS?

Since most of us in the northeast have been experiencing unseasonably and very hot and dry weather conditions for this bow season (Fall), I was wondering what kind ofweather (archers)most other hunters would rather hunt in.

gimme 30s and snow the last 2 weeks of the season!!!!

that being said, i dont MIND anything lower than 70 for the high. i enjoy those 60-70 degree crisp fall days for some reason. i really like when it drops down from 70 to 50 and lows are in the 30s...like last weekend...boy was that nice hunting...coldest bowhunting ive seen in 2 years..

I would have voted for 30's and overcast but snowing will do.

Well, I must admit I really like hunting when it's in the 40's during the day and below freezing at night.

I remember a number of years ago I was early season archery hunting in Bradford county PA and on open day the high was 81 degrees [:@], but6 weeks later on the last day there was 5 to 6 inches of snow on the ground. [:-]I had a blast that day even tho I didn't take an animal.

I really don't know where you were hunting in Pennsylvania but last weekend wasn't cold at all, let alone the last couple years. It has been extremely too dam HOT for this time of year, therefore the deer HAVE NOT been moving. Not to mention this stinking weather has killed many of our deer due to the EHD "bug". We need COLD WEATHER!

When I went out on tues. it was around 60, it was good weather. If I would've anticipated the deer would duck my shot it would have a perfect day!
