If you were fat and wearing heavily insulated coveralls would you want to move much when it's above 30 degrees ?

NOt me I'd be laying down. Bu tin Florida they are not fat and I've never seen them wearing overalls.

chuck7, i hope this cold front get's them moving. i'll be hunting citrus this weekend. i've never been there before, so this should be interesting.

During my fall bow hunting and late fall shotgun hunting here in NJ, I see a direct correlation between cold weather and warm weather and the deer's patterns. Of course, wind and other hunting pressure factors in, but for the most part I tend to always see more deer when it's cold than when it's unseasonably warm.

For instance, on a warm fall afternoon with temps maybe close to 75-80 degrees, I don't see much deer movement. A day or two later with temps in the lower 60s, deer are in abundance. Everything changes and doesn't matter come the rut, but I see more deer and head to the woods more often under ideal conditions and favorable temps.

Good luck Camo...I've heard great things about Citrus. I'll be hunting in the Orange Lake area of the Green Swamp. if I don't over sleep. Sure is cold

yeah i think it does make them move more because they cant bed down at any point in th day because they hae to keep moving to keep warm.
