If it is cold and the wind is not blowing, I would be hunting. Most of these cold fronts bring a day or 2 of wind, after the wind settles, the deer will start moving.

Went to Wyoming in January of this year. When we got there it was -30F. For the next three days the warmest temp we saw was -15F.

I swore to myself I would never complain about being cold again.

Oh and we hammered the geese pretty well everyday.

They would land on the snow in the corn fields and sit down until the snow melted and then eat where they were sitting.

Had 1 mile stretch of river that is a refuge and there were so many geese on it, it never froze while we were there.

Left the Sunday morning and by lunch time is was 42F.

I don't mind the cold or even wet as much as I HATE a cold wind.....a cold wind cuts thru me like a hot knife thru warm butter....

This late in the season when the deer know that so many are after them, I arrive late and hunt well into the morning on the coldest mornings. Some have said that like ourselves, deer will often stay bedded on the coldest mornings and begin to move only after the sun is well up and beginning to thaw things out. It's how I filled a late season tag on a nice buck last season. Didn't see a deer until 10am when they seemed to start coming into my food plot from every direction. Shot the buck around 10:30.

Hunted at -10 for whitetails in Indiana and in Missouri before. Seemed that when the sun started hitting the ground they'd start moving. Add wind to the equation and it seems you're out there all by yourself. Coldest morning I've hunted here in Texas was 0 F. Nothing moved until the sun came up. All I saw that morning was a little buck fawn. Left the stand about 10 as I had to get back home. Had deer all over the side of the highway eating what they could find nearly the entire way back.

Never to cold or hot to hunt!

I tend to check the wind and cloud cover when it is well below normal. If it is calm in the morning and cloudy i usually see bucks moving for some reason. If it calm and sunny, yet cold, it seems they wait until mid day.Either way if the wind is right I try to hunt a bedding area that is south facing so they warm up quicker (and so do I!)

When I shot this deer last season it was 8 deg. I saw 13 deer that morning which is the most I have ever seen at one time on my place. I love the cold as long as the wind isn't howling.

I don't go to the deer lease to hang out in camp. I hunt no matter the cold, rain, heat, wind...it could be the end-o-times and I will be out there.

what about on properties that aren't hunted and none of the neighbors hunt?
