Please keep your hot, humid, weather to yourself. We don't want it here up north. It's 85, and humid here in Wisconsin today. Yuck! Back to 65 for a high tomorrow. That will be more like it.
yeah, its hot... was just out in the yard with my daughter, she's lobbing bolts into the lung/heart...but we were sweating our butts off in the blind two days!
I'll tell you what. Most deer have lost their summer coats here already. Which means..... 85 deg heat + winter coats on deer = no deer movement. I'll just sit here play with my boys, have a beer and try and stay cool. My wife asked me to turn on the A/C I said no way are we turning it on September the 23rd when it is going to cool off tomorrow. Usually the furnace is running by now not the A/C.
Word! I hate this weather ... we are getting that high 80's crap tomorrow .... I'd NEVER live in the South because of that heat ....
This is a nasty system Tony. I'm talking 100% nasty humidity and then 30 mph winds behind it. Not exactly good for hunting if you know what I mean.
We're frying down here to! Average high's this time of year should be in the low 80's.It's been mid to upper 90's for several days we desperately need cool temps and RAIN!!!!!!
How long do you have yet till it opens? The good news is this system does move pretty fast. It is in and out in 36-48 hours.
I've been out ONE time. It's awful. I'm just not gonna do it in this heat. 67deg. for a LOW, tonight.
Jeff, At one time when you were desperate for a deer...... would you of battled it? I'm unbelievability desperate for a deer and I'm still not battling it. I believe your likely do more harm than good.
I'm past the point of worrying about harm and good. It's just not fun in this heat. And, I do this because it's fun. There were years I wouldn't miss a chance to hunt. I'm past that, too. I'll hunt when I think it'll be fun. And, I'll stay out - when I think it won't be. I've killed enough deer, now, that I don't hunt with that as my SOLE goal. In other words, the end doesn't justify the means. I don't NEED to kill a deer. That's me. I can't/won't speak for anyone else (as to why they hunt).
Welcome to my world the last five or six years... at least. It's hit 93 every day this week... I just glanced down at my little Weatherbug indicator in the bottom task bar and it reads 80 degrees right NOW ... at 9:36 p.m. It's just about got to where you can count on it around here... bow season approaches = 90-degree weather. They're synonymous.
Same here the season started Mon. here and I have been one evening. Theres plenty of time and like Jeff I do this for enjoyment. The weekend looks to be much cooler though.
