Re: the perfect day

I could list 2 perfect days,

#1 would be what I enjoy most, calm, cold, snow falling on a foot of snow on the ground already. Just love to hunt in weather like that.

#2 would be what it was like on both nights I killed my 200" bucks. Windy....really windy, and rainy. Just a plain old ugly day.

Re: the perfect day

Perfect morning.

Pick my buddy Tom up, we head to Danville, namely Carey Lane. He hunts the spot where he missed a 150 last year, I hunt the spot where I missed a 140 last year.

The day is clear, cold, maybe 20 in the morning, warming to 35 in the day. A day like this and our rattling sequences seem to travel for miles. A very slight, slight breeze, just enough to keep it in your favor. Frost, I like frost, makes the leaves sound like "potato chips" according to Tom.

This day one or both of us connect this time, but if not, tailgate down and we build some monster saaaaaammmmmmmiches and relate the morning's events.

That's my perfect morning.

slight breeze, dewy morning with a slight chill. The deer think they are smelling everything because Of the moist conditions but there is one thing they can't smell..... Me perched up 15 ft off the ground silent; bow at ready.......

Sunny with about 2 - 3 inches of snow that fell early in the night. But not wet snow that sticks to the trees, because the watchers can't see or hear, and the chasers get soaked. cool (-5 C) and first monday of November. AHHHH... can't wait.

Would be great to have a snow on the ground during hunting season, but just doesnt happen here. Best mornings here are the cool crisp mornings, the deer really move good during daylight when it is right around the freezing mark.

Re: the perfect day

I'd rather have 40 degree weather with a slight breeze (blowing just right for my stand), with a beautiful sunrise to my right and the frost is lifting off of the grass and bush in front of me. I love those mornings. No deer may show up, but thats ok, haha.

Re: the perfect day

Archery morning=Damp (rained that night) but in the 40s with no wind. Silent, Over cast to partly sunny (once sun rises). Colorful leave are falling and so are the acorns.

Rifle=Mid November with 6" to 10" fo snow the night before, 25* to 30* F with slight breeze in one steady direction.

Insert big rack buck here... LOL
