RE: Opening day in Wi
I've been hunting up north of Hayward Wisconsin for about 37 years now, and we've had weather all the way from -20 degrees to 70 above zero, not too long ago on the 70 BTW, and anything from rain to sleet to a darn blizzard, 2003.
as they say in Wisconsin, if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes.

Too warm and too wet is the way it looks.
I will hunt in any weather, but the warm wet days are far from ideal.
I've deer hunted in Wisconsin for the past 26 years and the one thing I know for a fact is that the weather forecast is rarely accurate.

The closer we get to opening day the dryer the weather is looking. Earlier in the week they were calling for rain on Saturday and Sunday, then they were calling for rain on Friday and Saturday, now weather.com is saying scattered showers on Saturday. Opening day is supposed to be pretty warm, 47, but after that it's suppose to be in the 30's all week for highs. I think it's shaping up into a great season to hunt, I'm going to hunt all 9 days so I'm not worried if the opener isn't that great, I'll be hunting no matter what the weather. Good luck to all and I remember, Wisconsin weather is as unpredictable as our whitetails.

This will be my first time hunting in WI... my fiancee's family is from Marinette, and we'll be hunting near Crivitz (I think). Anyway, yeah, I'm a little discouraged because of the weather report, but the temps are dropping and so are the chances of rain, even though they still aren't good. Last year in MN it was -18 on opener morning with snow in the Staples/Motley, MN area... too bad we didn't see that snow again.

I live in the CWD zone so its been warm all season except for 2 crisp/frosty days last week, However I love the rain now since few hunters are out and you can still hunt the ridges and flood plains around the WI River. not as noisy! Anyone live out this way? Looking to get with a group since I just moved back to the area especially interested in hunting the islands on the river
