Is it October or August ? These temps

Sat in my tree stand today and sweat my @$$ off......


All I saw were 2 does at the 7am feeder go off and a bunch of squirrels in near by trees.
Wondering if we will even have a rut this year with as warm as it is keeping everything so green.

At this rate deer will stay nocturnal and lay low during the day to stay cool.

I hear you. But despite the temps lately, I've got bucks sparring on camera. Of course this was at night.

The rut will come regardless.

If your not hunting near a water source right now you should be.

Good information Marc and I have to agree.

Luckily for rifle season my blind is 131 yards away from the feeder and 83 yards from the pond

It has been unseasonably warm/hot. It was upper 90's yesterday in Knox County. And what is this El Nino they keep speaking of? We haven't had any measurable amount of rain since July. Tanks are dry or very low. The good lord gave us such a good Spring. I guess I should have never dropped the rain from my prayers, even when dams were being breached and spillways overflowing.

Have archery hunted in warmer weather.. At least ya seen a few... Bucks here have been in hiding for quite some time... My cam's & stand set up in area were does year after year raise fawns... More for pic's... Opening weekend usualy get quick glimps of the bucks running rub & scrape lines... Taken several videos... Haven't seen the #of bucks this year as did last year.... They got that light charcoal type shirts that hold the sweat oders... Natts & mosketoes part i hate... Best wishes...

Temps have been normal temps for South Texas at this time of the year for me....hot.

As pappy once said: i only bow hunt in months ending in er sept one. ...

Warm days like this, morning hunts see more action... You had chance ta get back out ?

What's new? It's been this way the last decade that I can remember and probably longer.

i pud a couple of dem dar wings under me arm pits, keeps me dry for hours...

As a kid in Marshall, I always considered September to be the hottest month. That might have been lack of A/C at Davy Crockett Elementary or just that I was not outside anymore and summer was over.

But yep. it's hot again. I turned on the A/C in the Cave last night.

Hopefully y'all are right and the morning hunts are when the movement occurs.

Can't say bout other places.. Can show ya pic's of what's happening here... Mornings coolest part of day.. A lot depends on were stand is..

Another Beautiful morning ta be wondering about the woods...

as the saying goes If you don't like the weather in Texas just wait 5 minutes.

Good ta see a thread bout hunten... Shows ta be some cool mornings this weekend... Best wishes...

I always wait until late September or early October to plant to avoid the dry, summertime heat. The seeds have been in the ground for going on three weeks now and they still have yet to see a rain.

I think is a lie about El Niño and it's going to hotter and dryer than ever. They are saying elnino is coming but the water is just hotter in the pacific due to it being hotter on earth. Also the earth changed its rotational axis by thousand of miles and now we are near the equator and we are all going to die a slow hot burn:)

Or it's the same as every year in Texas...hot until mid November.

El Niño is a winter event. It doesn't start until late December.

Haha, for a minute there I thought we had uncovered a mole in our midst. Someone that poses as a hunter but is really an enviromental extremist undercover..you know, the kind that would say global warming is because of the heat generated from the guns going off during hunting season...

But seriously, as far back as I can remember the first cold spell was always around halloween...Not that it lasted, but that was the point at which it started cooling down for good....
