Favorite weather conditions?
 

So just to get a little conversation going, what is your favorite weather condition to bowhunt the rut?

Please share stories, reasons why you like said weather condition, etc.

I'm a fan of light snow fall. I've always had better deer sightings with a light snow and killed my first deer (gun season however) in a light snow. It's beautiful to watch snowfall from stand, especially when the deer are out and about!:D

I love me a nice Light snow, Especially when the ground is covered with like a inch of fresh heavy powder.

Light snow meaning it will be cold and the deer will be moving.:)

my favorite time to deer hunt, and when ive seen the most deer is on a calm, light drizzling day, with a temp around 35-45 *

next i like a calm, clear, cold day, around 20-35 *

RE: Favorite weather conditions?
 

I like a Cold Crisp morning with a light snow begining to fall. I like this even better when the first heavy snow of the year is just hours away. This means there is a good chance that the deer will be out and about after food before the storm. Then i like to be int the treestand when the storm quits if this happens in daylight cuz the deer will really be moving then!!!

Cloudy, cold around 30 degrees, little to no wind. Maybe a flurry or 2.

Cold, cloudy, a little snow or rain...golden.

I like it like this. I saw the biggest buck of my life stick his head out from between these two spruces while hunting Alberta. I love the snow/cold for the rut, which we don't get in Pa.

As long as it's cold, I don't care too much. Hate the wind though.

The colder the better with snow on the ground!!!!!!!!!!

How cold is cold? ;):D

I love it when it is cold calm and clear I is just a great feeling when you are sitting in your stand and you know the conditions are perfect for that big split toe to walk by so you can bust him with a carbon arrow.

35-40 degrees and overcast

RE: Favorite weather conditions?
 

I like it to be about 20 degree's with the snow coming down at a good clip, not heavy snow but not light snow either snow, in between there somewhere. Deer tend to move allot more when its snowing fairly good.

RE: Favorite weather conditions?
 

I think it has been sunny every time I have killed a deer....

RE: Favorite weather conditions?
 

Seems like i have always had good luck when it is slightly raining.

Cold (15-25), light snow falling, very little wind, mostly overcast.

The cold makes me more aware, the light snow makes it easier to spot a deer and track 'em, no wind makes it easier to cover your scent and overcast makes it easier on the eyes.


Worst weather: 30-35 with rain/sleet/sh*t and wind.

Took my biggest buck in 22 degrees, light snow, no wind and overcast.
Took my 2nd biggest buck in 30 degrees, light snow on the ground, no wind and overcast following a drenching cold miserable rain for the preceeding 8 hours!
