Ok so with the cold front pushing in the next few days.. Out of the 3 days I'm only able to hunt one... Should I go Wednesday when it is kinda first coming through.. Thursday when it's cold and a 80% chance of sleet, rain, ice... Or Friday just cold.. Or does it really mater...

I'd still pick Friday. When the front blows in will be pretty windy. Hunting the precip could be good if it is intermittent

Shoot. Eat. Repeat.

Yeah, the timing on this front really sucks ( not that there's ever a good time for freezing precip). I'm trying to close a deal near Abilene but can't leave the Dallas area until tomorrow afternoon and it's not looking good for driving by then.

Today right now would be my choice. Just drove from Junction to Fredericksburg, saw more whitetail and axis than I could keep track of. Saw a group of about 15 whitetail does and a small herd of axis before I even got to the highway.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I was planning on hunting myself, but am now taking a young man and his foster dad that's a friend of mine at church out tomorrow afternoon at my place. I know I'm sorta a native American wannabe, but I think they (the deer) know the shite's gonna hit the fan and come out before. Wind won't be right for my feeder, but it's 120 away and I've seen deer (does and dumb bucks) come out with my scent blowing right in their face. Also have it high enough to shoot north towards the house and they drift through there too.
My vote: tomorrow afternoon. If you're in north Texas, tomorrow morning. I'll be smoking a cigar and waiting for a "bang" after 3:30pm.
