Finally cooling down here in Southern Ontario this weekend.
I'm completely out of deer meat!! :(
Will be in my 92B ladder stand at some point this weekend.
My archery tag is good for buck or doe. First good size deer I see I'm pulling the Excalibur trigger! lol
smaller of rain, I'm thinking Sunday to go just to give the deer 24 hours of cooler weather. I have 2 cell cameras out and working now and haven't seen a deer in this heat, but did see them when temps were normal.
Good luck. Renfrew county is supposed to get something like 50mm of rain Saturday - so not a good day for bow hunting here.Quote:

Good luck to all this season!
all my moneys on sunday !
i wont be getting out, only have 1 tag and have the gun hunt week off.
but if i was i would be out there sunday morning.
temp 10 degrees at 4am then drops all day as low as 4 degrees or 5 degrees.
i plan to get out tomorrow for a first sit this year. newer spot so more of a scout than anything. waiting for corn to come off so i can hunt closer to home. :)
I'm hoping to get my stands put up this weekend and sit during gun season. . Most likely not making it out for bow season with a new baby in the house.
Might go out tonight if rain holds off and wind is favorable. Corn still on, beans are off. Plan is to sit in a new spot, bit of a funnel between 2 corn fields. Good luck to all.
For me, Thanksgiving weekend is the worst time to go bow hunting for deer because I only can hunt public land in October. The woods are just to busy with mushroom pickers, hikers, grouse hunters, atv riders, guys sighting in guns on private beside public land. I will wait until the pressure is off the deer and go in next Wednesday.
Made it out Monday morning.
Had a group of 4 does come by at 8am but they stayed in the thick stuff. They just needed to take 3 more steps but didn't happen.
Then at 10:30 a nice 8 point came by and again stayed behind some thick stuff.
All in all a great day when you see 5 deer in bow range. :)
Went out Saturday evening and didn't see anything. no birds, no squirrels and certainly no deer. with the front moving in I thought for sure we would have seen something
yesterday both my cameras were going crazy. 5 Does, and 4 turkeys, the Tom strutting for the ladies, other camera had 2 bucks go by all deer from legal to 1030 and where was I Thanksgiving dinner and cards with oldest boy out of town. I was going to hunt but family first.
Today out to where the 2 bucks where and nothing at that spot or at the other that had all the Does and turkeys. Seems to be the way it always goes.
I had my usual hunt 'strategy' play out, busted a deer on the way in, sat in my saddle for five hours saw nothing, busted a deer on the way out.
This will be a good year for bow hunters, the controlled hunt starts Nov 06 giving us a few extra days before the orange army enters the woods.
Had my 1st sit in a tree stand ( new spot) yesterday afternoon with no deer sightings. Just coyotes singing close by for minute.
First sit for me was Sunday. wmu92. Set up at the intersection of 2 pretty heavy deer runs, but the only action I seen was 4 doe moving thru 75-100 yards from me.
