So what say you.  Are morning hunts worth a shot at this time of year.  I know pm hunts over food work but do I try to catch em going back to bed in the am?  Thinking about trying tomorrow.

I'll be out there for as long as I can stand it. I do prefer last light in the late season though

[BowmanMike]

I am going out tomorrow for sure...

Went for a stroll this afternoon and spooked some deer,got down on one knee quickly and there was a spike that had no idea why everyone scattered,but he went into lightspeed mode. Only thing was he was coming straight at me.

Too fast for a shot,but he passed me close enough for spear work. Made me think of moog for some reason,one of his arrows would have worked. I could have stabbed that spike.

Next time maybe...

Hope mom gets better soon, TF.

12 F, cloudy with fresh snow and I took the day off. I plan to sit for an hour, then still into the light south winds. There has to be some late rut action going on somewhere.

I'm up, I'm up.....having breakfast because it's 7 here.  If it's less of a temp than I can count on my fingers I'm gonna wait.  

But gonna go to one property for a mid day stroll and to pickup final trail cams for the season.  Then for the afternoon try a 2 hr sit til dark on the edge of a beanfield. Good luck those who go out.

Right now the thermometer says 2.5 degrees F. Yesterday and the day before I saw 13 degrees in the morning. I am trying to imagine anyone going out dressed for that kind of weather with a bow and still able to draw it back to full-draw and maintaining any sort of form to successfully hit whatever they are shooting at. Has anybody ever successfully shot a deer with a bow in those kinds of temperatures?

Doc I shoot the winter 3d league and there are plenty of days when it’s single digits. Now having said that we are walking around and that makes a huge difference

Not this guy that's for sure... I am still venturing out with the muzzleloader though... and that is still a challenge on these frigid days. As a younger man I remember grabbing the bow on these days and experiencing exactly what you describe. Maybe that's the education I needed to realize I didn't want to do that any more.

I've been doing the morning hunts and find that the deer here are bedding early... long before sunrise. But I know that bucks tend to get active with does again in this late season and... well.. ya never know.

TF, sorry to hear, try to enjoy the holidays with her.

Doc - yes, lots of people shoot bows successfully in extreme cold temps. Many Canadian or western US hunts are during frigid temps. I see guys in bowsite forums killing animals in sun zero temps with a bow. In fact, i saw a few weeks ago on Instagram that Eva shockey shot a nice buck in SK with a bow in sub zero temps. She was in body heater and had to unzip before drawing
