Default Favorite hunting weather?

I was just curious as to what was everyones favorite weather to hunt in?

For me, you may call me crazy, but I like to hunt in the snow. Ilike to seea lightsnow falling and at least an inch or two on the ground while hunting. I usually don't get this during archery though unfortunately. Last archery season it was about 70 or above for the first 3-4 weeks.

I like the snow makes it easier to track and see them. But like you said not likely for early bow. To be honest I like hunting with a light rain, or rght after a long hard rain. The deer do move. Yes its harder to hear them, but its harder for them to hear you too. I dont mind a lil rain, if it betters my odds of getting up close and personal. I wish it got colder here earlier to be honest. I'd rather hunt in cold then 80degrees like last year.

I like a low ceiling with grey overcast skies.

I'd prefer high temps around 45-50, with avery light very "perdictible" wind.

I like when you have a late October or early November 11am-3pm moon rise with the barometer hitting 30.31 as the cold front moves in. 40-50 degree weather dropping down in the low 20's or lower, that in my book is when I have seen some of the most incredible deer movement.

I would take that x2. But unfortunately where I hunt those conditions might happen by Thanksgiving. Bow season starts in the 80's and 90's. By gun season you're just hoping for 70's. So it is like most of the other factors about hunting it is all about geography and what resources are available to you.
