mainebuck Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 what's everyone's opinions on hunting in the morning when it's hot out? I usually morning and afternoon in the early season, but this year it's pretty warm thus far. This opening week we've had daytime temps from the 70's on up to the 90's. The coolest morning thus far was on opening day when I hunted the morning. It was in the 50's and the deer came through about 20 minutes before daylight and were back to bed pretty early. In weather this hot would you forego the morning hunt for fear of educating the deer or hunt it anyway? I'm thinking I may wait for the first cold front to hunt morning stands and just stick with afternoon sits til then. opinions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntnMa Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Re: hot mornings it's hot regardless come opening morning here....so i'm in the woods.i would prefer colder temps, but it's not going to happen then , so i'll sacrifice, lol......i bring a lil fan just in case i need it in the afternoon, mornings ,while the temp might be up there, it's not as hot as the evenings.....you could set up in the creek bottoms, it's a lil cooler there...i hope the temps start dropping for ya....

JimT Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Re: hot mornings I would just hunt a few different spots not the same one..Hit one stand, then let it cool down for a bit. Thats what I do regardless. The heat has been bad here..I have yet even to see a deer...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest buddy ahart Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Re: hot mornings As long as you are seeing deer on the warmer mornings keep hunting but if you dont see anything then i would just give it time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainebuck Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Re: hot mornings finally some better weather moving in. 49 Monday night.
