Default Your ideal hunting weather?

Everyone has what they think would be perfect hunting weather. I'm curious to see how everyone varies. I'd say the perfect hunt for me would be a crisp 35 degrees with little to no wind, 3 inches of snow on the ground, with it snowing at about 1/2 inch per hour.

Some the best deer movement I have ever seen is when there is a thick, blowingfog on the ground. Seems like the deer feel more confident in this condition. I've seen some really nice buck in fog but it is hard to see to far.

I agree but with only enough snow to turn some of the leaves white. I like to hear them coming.

I like about a foot of snow on the ground, NW wind about 5-10mph, sunny and the temps in the low teens or colder, now thats hunting to me!

i like it overcast and cold. 30-35 degrees, if it is snowing out that is a huge plus. with a 2-3 mile per hour west wind

30's and just after a fresh 3 to 4 inches of snow, no wind. But realistically, 30's and just after a rain, no wind.

I would take any weather other than this 80 degree crap here in Illinois right now....Is it October or July??????

Other than that I do like it around 30-35 with just a dusting of snow.

Agreed, its the same here in Ohio, mid 80's does nothing for my hunting...but I think the consensus on here is 30 degrees, I'll take a light SW wind for me.

35 degrees w/ a slight NW wind...mostly cloudy as for some reason it just makes me fell all cozy inside.
