Git Ready!
« on: November 08, 2011, 09:52:00 AM »
If you have even the slightest chance of hunting tomorrow and Thursday I'd strongly suggest you do whatever possible to get out there. Last night it rained off/on all night with gusts to 25 MPH. Today the prediction is 100% chance of rain with winds to 25 MPH. Wednesday morning at 4 AM it's still 95% chance of rain BUT at 5 AM the front blows through dropping the predicted rain to 0%, the winds dropping down and the temps right at 34 degrees. Absolutely perfect in my opinion for the rut to blow wide open. Novemeber 9th and 10th will very likely be the two best days of whitetail hunting all season. Get out there and best of luck. BW

UB,

I'm hoping they'll still me moving on Friday.  Veterans Day is a Federal Holiday and I'll be off work Friday.  I'll be in the woods Friday and Saturday!

I should note that our season here in the Lowcountry of SC has been open since August 15th.  However, I won't go into the woods until we've had at least one good frost.  We had three good ones last week.  The chiggers shouldn't be a problem.  They have a tradition of eating me alive!     :(      :eek:      :scared:  

I'll be carrying my Brazilian Rosewood riser Tall Tines T/D recurve to the woods.  The riser was cut out of the same piece of Brazilian Rosewood that the riser for your Tall Tines was cut from.

Now if you would only export a few of those big Iowa whitetails to my area of Wyoming, all would be well!

Thanks, Barry.  I kind of feel like Michael Jordan just told me it was time to play ball!

By the way, is it just my imagination, or is your neck starting to swell in your avatar picture? I guess it is time, indeed!

Thanks again for the "heads up"

Looks like the front moves off late Wednesday night here is Mid-Michigan so an all day sit on Thursday looks to be in the mix for me.  So glad I took this week off!

Thanks it has been slow here in Mo so far this trip and have heard the rut is running a week late.  This is just what we are hoping with this weather and will be in the woods,

Hoping the front pulls through my area by dawn on Friday.  If not I'll be out as soon as it leaves on Friday.  Hopefully the bucks will start moving once the rain stops.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I agree with wildmanSC I'm hoping their still moving on Friday cause I'm not getin off till then. My boss don't buy I'm sick during deer season. But I do appreciate the heads up. Good luck to those of you who can get out there.
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

I wish I could sneak out. I'm booked solid with meetings until Friday. With the daylight savings time change I can't make it out after work either.

That same front made it's way across MT this weekend, and I've been enjoying it's aftermath here.   Bucks are moving, but it's just starting for us, really.    Still, I agree, even though it's been through , the temps behind have remained cool, and winds down (nock on wood) and with the moon at full and coming up in the early evening.....a good combo for some action, I think.

I took this week and part of next week off for my hunting vacation. This morning I woke up to rain so I decided to save a vacation day and head into work. Now with your news, I don't feel so bad about not being hunting today. The past 4 days I've seen several bucks trailing does, but no hard chasing so far.

If the 9th and 10th are the two best days, why didn't you wait for them?
