    Temperature? Highs in the high 50's to low 60's with lows down into the 40's

    Wind Direction? Whatever is favorable for the stand I'm hunting

    Wind Speed? < 10 mph

    Percipitation/sun/clouds? Partly cloudy to cloudy, as long as a front is moving in that is what gets them moving

    Moon Phase? Anything outside of the days around or a full moon. The deer seem to only move at night if it's clear and the moon is bright.

    During later Oct through Nov I like temps in the 20's-30's with just enough breeze out of the North to move my scent.

    I like a little snow on the ground too.

    The stand I have the most optimism about this year requires a south wind.

    Temperature? 30 and below

    Wind Direction? Depends on the stand location

    Wind Speed? 5-10 mph constant

    Percipitation/sun/clouds? Nice and Sunny and crisp with High Pressure overhead.
    Moon Phase? New

    But then again last year using that tree umbrella in the pouring rain and then watching the weather change to snow was a blast I must say. I didnt even see a deer but enjoyed the piss out of it.
