Probably a record high here today. Hopefully it will cool off this weekend. Just have to hunt through it.

It has been very wet around here, so I have not been out much for over a week. Things should be happening this week, though. So far, I have not seen the large number of scrapes like I did the last few years.

I switched some vacation days from Thursday & Friday to Monday & Tuesday when it will be a little colder.

With the weather as warm as it is am sure the bucks are running at night. Found 2 open scrapes yesterday so hope the weather cools off after a front predicted for tomorrow comes in-mid day temps in the 50's. Don't know about the deer but will make the walk in alot better for me.

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Warm wet weather will push out of here by late morning tomorrow.  With cooler temps it should pick up.  That being said I am heading up to NY for some Steelhead and Brown trout fishing.

First day I finally took off to hunt.
All I saw was a squirrel in flip flops and sun glasses giving me the finger.

Might as well golf when it's really warm. Rut or no rut deer simply don't run around in the day with their winter coats on.

You might have a little chance the first hour of light but after that it's just a pleasant sit in the woods

some bucks are being killed this with muzzle loader mostly morning kills. I'm going anyway, can't shoot at em if I'm not in the woods.

VA Elite, you are correct.  You won't know if you don't go.  Killed this buck day before yesterday (Nov. 4th) here in Wisconsin.  3:35pm, sunny, temp @ 70.  He had his nose to the ground looking for the hot doe.  According to general wisdom he shouldn't have been moving around - but he was.

Yes, Tyler, it's been a good year so far.  Took a nice 6x6 Bull in NM also.  How've you been?  I see you've been filling your freezer too.
