weekend

[biggamefish]

Looks like the weekend is going to be a little wet. Should make it interesting.

[tughillhunter]

if i get out this weekend, ill be in my luxury box blind. lol

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Yea i'll be out there. Lucky for me ill be in a nice little blind/stand that was built at camp.

Good luck everyone.

NOAA is calling for 1/10" of rain upstate

[Lawdwaz]

I'll just use my tree umbrella and be dry as a pop corn fart. If you don't have one, get one.

[growalot]

I have to ask....doesn't the rain run down the trunk of the tree still?.....I hate wet butt....lol

[MACHINIST]

yes but I would rather have a wet butt than a wet body!!

[moose]

I am toughing it out just rain gear and treestand hopefully i won't have to be out long. I am not a big fan of blinds. One of my stands i can see a box blind on another piece of property. I watch the deer when they get close to it and they seem spooky. Close i mean 60 to 70 yards and they seem to shy away from it and drift in another direction.

Simple Rain Gear.Parts from a previous post,It was raining when we left camp ,I put on my Bright Orange Rain Gear,Got to the spot I wanted to hunt,sat on my Red hot seat on a tree stump.It was still raining, I had 4 does stop 5' in front of me and stayed there for around 5 minuted grazing and slowley walked away.

4 options:

trestand with tree umbrella

ground blind

rain gear (great still hunting weather)

stay home

last weekend i will be doing one of the first 3 options

I will be out Monday with crossbow rain or shine. Just put my hood up. Its just rain, I gaurantee nobody melts.

It's real hunting in the woods, bad weather is part of the game. Perfect weather gets boring anyway.

Enjoy yourself in the rain Pretty hard to see anything with your hood up.........

40 degrees and rain sucks. You can't sit and concentrate if your cold & wet and I dispise a wet cigar...........

Try a tree umbrella and you'll get it.

Its not like I'm hunting from a cottage in my jammies..................<grin>

I agree 40 and rain does suck. But forecast calls for 56 and rain showers here on Monday. I never been in a treestand in my life, so no umbrella.

[Lawdwaz]

You could probably count all the deer I've killed from the ground on your hands and maybe a couple toes. WELL over a hundred from a tree.

I like trees just fine.......

[BizCT]

Nothing wrong with that. Everyone has their own prefences. Based on where I hunt, my only tree option would be a climber and I dont want to be restricted to one spot. Majority of the deer I shot were either still hunting or I saw and then needed to move 5-10 yards to get a shot off.

[Dan92]

will be out monday, hopefully the rain will keep some of the other guys in

[arrow nocker]

Will be heading out with the muzzleloader for the first time ever on Monday. How's the rain going to treat it?

Where at? I'm off work Monday to hunt with xbow, but thinking about switching my day off to Wednesday.

[Ford]

Keep it dry as possible. Put a piece of tape over the muzzle.

Got two public land spots I want to try to hit up in Putnam. I was hunting there during bow and came close on a couple of occasions but haven't been back there since Hurricane Sandy hit. Heck, I hardly been out since Hurricane Sandy. Been so busy.

I have a bag of those tiny balloons specifically designed to fit in front of a muzzle. Will try those out.
