Yah its not normal for Indiana either. Cant figure it out? I went squirrel huntin this afternoon and could help but sweat in jeans and a long sleave shirt. I wish it would get cold so the deer would start movin'.

Here in MO it's been warm as well. In my experience, they will bed down until very late in the day, feed all night then back to bed early morning. If youknow where their bedding area is,try to sneak in there pretty close (but not too close, you don't want to spook them)and set up on a travel route to leading tothe feeding area.

we've been hitting the 70s here. yesterday i actually broke a sweat in the woods and all i had on was bdu pants with long johns, a thermal shirt, and a hooded sweatshirt. also i was outside earlier tonight digging in our garbage for something that was accidnetally tossed in a short sleeve shirt.

i should'nt be able to do that a week before christmas.

Deer around here don't move much during the day when it is this warm. Early morning or evening. They already have their winter fat built up. They get warm just like us.
