Why aren't you guys out hunting?
 
It's Saturday, folks. Why aren't you out hunting? It's the youth season here in Tennessee today and tomorrow, so I have an excuse.

I don't mind bowhunting in a light drizzle, but you're right about not hunting in the rain. Besides, I can't follow a blood trail in the best of conditions. I'm colorblind.

I have a good excuse for not being in the woods today. My buddies are in the woods as I respond to this thread. Its killing me! I have not missed the peak of the rut for 20+ plus years. I will never play softball in the fall again.

chas0218 10-31-2009 05:31 AM

It's currently raining cats and dogs with 30mph winds with gusts even higher. I got 4 days off this week from school and I still can't manage to get a couple nice days to hunt.

DeerandbearhoG 10-31-2009 05:35 AM

Whoa! Look who's here! How've ya been, PT?

40mph winds with driving rain would keep me in too, but it's beautiful weather here. Like I said before, it's the youth hunt in TN and I'm tagged out in Arkansas, so I think I'll do some bowling, golf and baseball on the Wii with my daughter.:s4:

Well after mother nature decided to just dump about 3-4 in. of rain on us here in SO. IL i cant access any of my spots as most of my hunting ground is bottoms and when i decided to go out yesterday evening the road to my bottoms was under water and so was my bottoms. Ive got family here this weekend and i let my cousin and his buddy hunt my other property that is accessible. My bottoms should be accessible by this evening since its dry today and it drains fast.

1shotkill1993 10-31-2009 08:35 AM

I'm in between hunts :) Thank you

Schultzy 10-31-2009 08:47 AM

Mother nature has been a real bitch the last 10 days here, all It does Is rain and blow as of late!!:rant:

Bbearfax 10-31-2009 08:53 AM

Sorry to hear that, Schultzy. I wish I could hunt this weekend. The weather's great here. I guess the youngsters need their time in the woods, though.

Sorry for the delay, PT. Things have been going great for me. I switched jobs at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, so I no longer work for a world reknowned genetic immunologist with an ego that dwarfs Texas.

I've got four deer in the freezer already and the rut isn't even really started yet. Life is good.:s1:

Sorry to hear you have that. I was lucky to be able to get my H1N1 vaccination last week at St. Jude.

I don't get it, Tim. You have school work on the weekend, but you'll be able to hunt Monday? Won't you be in school?

Rain- lots of Rain & high winds

Still waiting! 10-31-2009 10:41 AM

Rain ,wind and warm temps have been killing me here! On top of that I had last week off and sat at home with my 2 kids fighting the flu!

Was it you fighting the flu or was it the kids?

Wind and rain can definitely put a damper on hunting, but I don't mind the warm temps at all.

Not in the least.:evil:

Absolutely brilliant genetic immunologist, but 60 years old, never married, her work is her life and she doesn't like to lower herself to talk to humans with an IQ lower than hers.
