As soon as I could see the 14 day forecast to opening weekend it added negative to negative. Hunting near Brady it's calling for a low of 60 opening morning and a high of 87. Not ideal but at least it's opening weekend!

Doesn't much matter to us, if it is chilly we will see 20 deer at the feeder, if it gets warm we will see 20 deer at the feeder.

I killed my biggest buck ever the afternoon of opening day a couple years ago. It was warm then too and I had sat in a tripod as long as I could with out seeing much of anything and burning up. Spotted him walking back to my truck, stalked him and shot him.
So you never know. Hunt when you can.

Nothing ideal about next weekend other than its opening weekend. Regardless of temperature, full moon and plenty of acorns keeping them away from corn I'm still pretty axcited. Been doing this for a long time and the excitement never goes away.

Been doing this for a long time and the excitement never goes away. Luckily, where i hunt, its about 99.99999% pine trees with about 0.00001% oak trees, so the deer are really gobbling the corn up.

Only good thing about the heat is it will help ruin the acorns on the ground.

You never know what you'll see. I had a good friend that went to a deer blind to put in a shelf and make a few interior repairs, knowing full well that it was too hot and he wouldn't see much of anything. Took his rifle just in case. Was using a power drill to fasten the new shelf in and a 150" monster buck come out to an opening to look up at the blind and see what was doing on. 30 seconds later, he had a new personal best. Sometimes luck can be on your side. You never know what will cross your path in the woods. What seems like crappy hunting weather may just turn into a record day.

I would rather be there on a warm day than be elsewhere thinking about it.

This is why I'm going the second weekend. Calling for lows in the 40s and highs around 70.

Quit your batching about how it is going to be. At least you are getting to go as I am stuck in the work place and have to wait another week.

One year it was pouring down rain and I noticed several doe in a food plot/feeder pen on my left about 150 yds out. During a lull I shot one & the rest ran to a plot 300 yds away from the 1st plot but 175 yds from the blind on my right. Put a 2nd doe down at that one........ You will never know unless you're out there!

Crazy hot, but I'm still going tomorrow. Sunday is going to be too windy in my neck of the woods in NE Texas.
I've had zero luck on windy days in 30 years. Then again, those weird, calm days with the sun shining where you don't even see a bird, or a squirrel, are the pits too.
