What is the "ideal" weather to hunt deer?
What do you consider "ideal" weather for whitetail hunting? I like 15 to 20 degree weather with a light snowfall and virtually no wind.

<font color=navy></font id=navy> I dont know if there is an ideal hunting weather for me and deer hunting .I love it when it's cold but not so cold that I'm miserable.I guess if I had to pick one it would have to be in the low teens to make me jump for joy.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I like to hunt on a cool winter overcast morning, with a slight breeze so you know EXACTLY where your scent is going. That is what I have come up with to be ideal in 1 year of hunting.(NO science included)

My ideal weather is any time I can get out,I don't care wether it's hot,cold,raining,or snowing.You must adapt to the weather,when you can do that,your're a better hunter in that way.

It seems that most of you like overcast mornings, I do to. When there are no shadows it is easier to see the deer movement, BUT, that works both ways, as it is easier for them to see you.
Idealy for me, 40 deg. morning, clear sky, slight, predictable breeze.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
