ML Season Upon Us

[MikePal]

Well not what I was hoping for, +9 and rain sucks.....prefer -5 and snow down; not really to much to ask for is it ? ..being Dec and all

Hopefully it won't hinder us from making smoke next week.

To all the that guys still have a tag to fill and are heading out, Good luck to you all, hunt safe.

I echo your assessment for the beginning of this week. The big guys are still holed up and nocturnal. There was movement with the last snow we had but everything is dry and green again. The food pile in my backyard (for entertainment purposes only) is untouched.
Not much daytime activity. Perhaps towards the end of the week things may get better?

This was done 2 days ago so they are roaming.

Nothing better then snow for the December deer hunt.

Yes hope the weather cooperates Tuesday might be a write off in Northumberland county. Good luck everyone.

I had 4 does in the cross hairs yesterday. One at 15 yards for a few minutes but nothing today.
Still looking for that elusive buck but will fill my doe tag by the weekend if this persists.

Today's weather was far from ideal with the rain and high winds and speaking of hunting safely I abandoned my tree stand due to the rock and roll that was going on. Windy forecast for the rest of the week but cooler temps. Look promising! Got to get the big lads out of the security of the swamps once it freezes over but that may take a while.

No smoke pole this year, I swear by next year. I will find myself hunting with a bow wearing hunter orange on Saturday though, did it last year while a friend was out with his smoke pole, 3 deer within 15 yards but all without headgear, I am in the same boat this year but hopefully on this new property I can get my sights on a buck.

Nice temps on Monday but too warm for deer movement. The winds seem to be the biggest problem. I find the deer sitting tight to scrubby bush when the winds are this high. WEdnesday looks cooler and snowier so let's hope. I do like the lack of guys though compared to the first gun season.

I haven't been out yet, got some kind of a flu bug on Mon, put me flat on my back on the couch. Yesterday would have been a right off anyway, the winds were howling here all day and it rained like crazy so I'm not too upset.
Still howling this morning and where I hunt the winds shut down deer movement all together, far so much noise in the bush.

I'm feeling better today and the weather looks good for the rest of the week, so I'll be out for the eve hunt tonight.
