Going bow hunting today at 12 andI was wondering Right now the deer are probably in their bedding area right? so what are the chances of them still feeding? we had kind of a storm last night and its cloudy right now so what do yall think good chance to kill something or waste of time?

Is hunting ever a waste of time? I guess it depends on how your priorities are layed out....

Deer feed throughout the day, most of the day they stick close to their bedding area. In the evenings they might move a little farther out to feed during the night, but if you try to stick close to where they are bedded you probably stand a good chance of seeing movement. As far as the wind, if it's dangerous or miserable, why bother.

No problem, good luck. And be looking hard when the wind dies down if your hunting the edge of a pasture, thats when they will move. It will be a lot calmer in the woods so look to get in there if the wind is right for you.

With wind? Sure, if it works in your favor. A tornado, however, is an entirely different subject. I suggest you hunt waterfowl if you want something flying through the air!
