Really wanting to go hunting this weekend but the weather is less than favorable. Plan was to leave tomorrow morning and return Sunday night. Here's the forecast

If you can safely get there and the stand is dry...I would go. Place I hunt in ETex is flooded. Owner went in with a boat; Foot of water everywhere and His wife dropped a big 8 point.

I used to hunt in a driving sleet, huddled under an old USMC poncho, and in open tree stands when it rained or snowed. Upon further reflection...what was I thinking?
These days I'll take the Kubota, with roof and windshield, to the woods and sit in a heated non-leaking blind.
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

Can't kill them from the couch. The 2 biggest bucks I have ever taken were in snow storms with howling wind and temps in the single digits.

BP, if it's any consolation, our place is flooded with zero access. We can't hunt from our sofa's, but when the risk exceed's the potential reward, we bow out.

you don't know until you go. the game is out in the weather 24-7 and they don't use calendars or clocks. if they want to go eat in the rain at 14:00 they do it.

In that area I would wait for the rain to pass and let it dry out some.
You just end up getting stuck and tearing up the roads and it's not worth it IMO.
