Yea Baby..cold front moving into area..south east tom green county..counting days till wednesday..rut should be hot..be there for 6 days!!!! High starting thanksgiving day..50's..low high 20's to mid 30's..got my coveralls and 20lb propane bottle for big buddy heater..ready to hunt ALL DAY!!!!!

Gonna be real nice this weekend down south also. Best temps of the season so far.

I hope it holds through next weekend!!!

This!!!!

Couldnt wait..going down to meet the cold front..can you believe it..got here at camp..unloaded truck...and had to turn the air conditioner on..whaaaaat..front supposed to get here at 3am ..high not supposed to get out of the 30's...right now 69 degrees

Hunting on tomorrow on Friday morning, and never really hunted with a true rain before. Will deer activity still be high because of the front even though there is rain with it?
got a 60-70% chance here, I am by Abilene, Texas.

The rain is no big deal and they might still come out. If the winds are extreme they may shut down a little. You never know. What I do know when its rain and cold I have been known to sleep in zzzzzz.

Deer are comfort creatures like us. Hard rain and big wind. They will shut down and wait for better conditions. The rut does change all the rules. In my experience, be there after storms clear. All the deer will be on their feet.

Agreed, have changed my plans and will head out Monday.

I'm just looking forward to having the week off to spend with my beautiful wife!

Sunday will be the day I think. Right after the winds lay and front pushes past.

Cant wait, pumped!

I am at the lease now. Staying until Dec 1st.. Tomorrow morning should be awesome. Coke County 31 in the morning and 34 for a high. Saturday morning its gonna be 23 here.

I should be there Friday night through Thanksgiving. I already got my buck but still looking for a doe or a 2yo+ spike. Also hope this gets the pigs out in the daytime

Winds gusting to 35 tomorrow and to 30 on Saturday, ,, my experience is that wind is going to shut them down. At least it does here. I'll be sleeping in tomorrow morning.

That is what i used to think to. Until i got on this lease. I see tons of deer with the wind blowing 20 to 30 mph. But hey i hunt out here with the strange deer of Coke County

Heading out tomorrow to young county for the weekend. Can't wait, perfect hunting weather.

I like a 15 to 20 mph wind personally. You can move around and make noise that would otherwise spook them. It was windy two weeks ago and I saw a lot of deer.

I like hunting when its windy and cold as well. You can find the bowls that are out of the brunt of the wind and the deer will be there.
