Tornados aren't as bad as you'd think. They really mess with a deer's sense of smell. Excellent stalking conditions as well.

Wind and Fog are a combination we almost never see out here. Fog can only settle in when the wind is almost calm. My least favorite is gale force wind, although I have learned to use it to my advantage a couple of times.

Wind rain and severe weather. They can go together too and that's the worst to hunt in. I can take some rain without wind but add in the wind whether it's raining or not and I'd rather be sitting inside.

Huh? By the way I voted in this order: Tornado, Tsunami, heat, rain. Wind doesn't affect me as much any longer. I've seen more deer under windy conditions this season than ever before.

I voted wind and rain. To often hunters hunt in conditions they shouldn't be in. What I meant by what I said is strong winds that will effect arrow flight and rain that will effect a blood trail, not every hit is a good one and we've all heard of these 1 lung shots going 300 and 400 yards!

Besides the obvious tornado and tsunami,I hate hunting in freezing rain.A light rain doesn't bother me but I'll stay indoors during a downpour also
