The deer don’t really care that much about these temperatures, it’s a perceived notion that they will move more and be all frisky if it gets colder.  Bunk......

The RUT is what increases activity. 

These temps make the hunters happier....... :)

I disagree.  Deer do not have sweat glands; which means they do not have the ability to regulate body temps.  With their coats getting heavier for winter they'll literally overheat. So temps are important, it doesn't mean dont go out if it's warm.  They still need to eat, drink and satisfy their sexual hunger.

Nah. I’ve waited my whole life to bow hunt and experience the rut. I shoot a dink and it’s back to gun buck. I will zip a doe if opportunity arrives. But waiting on decent buck to punch that tag.

The rut and the temps go hand in hand Larry.  They don't chase as much when it's hot because they overheat.  They DO care about the temperatures.  I'm not saying it's the defining factor, but it does contribute.  From what I understand it is length of day/hours of daylight that are the biggest factor.

It's always interesting to see differences in opinions based on science, experiences, and what we were told to believe by those we value.

For me - the single largest deer I have ever seen while in a treestand appeared on the following conditions:

  • End of the first week in November
  • 3:30 PM
  • Sunny
  • 73 degrees
  • Moog was wearing Adidas track pants in the stand because it was so hot (he also dropped his bow from the stand that day - I am like an elephant...remember everything).
  • Buck was pushing a doe through the property - not running, but a clear walk.

All 176" of him was on his feet on a day where people say it's not worth hunting because it was so warm.

Deer will always be deering. Despite what people say.

Deer will move in any extreme,  wether it be hot or freezing cold when it comes to perpetuating their kind. The female species has the ability to make males do silly things. A couple of my best bucks were shot on the tail of does in some of the coldest, nastiest days. The days were pretty cold, windy and snow blowing sideways. When its time., hot or cold, mild or windy, be out there.

To clear up the record, I wore the track pants to the stand and then stripped to camo boxer briefs - it felt way hotter than 73.  And I did not technically drop my bow.  It fell when the loose hanger turned upside down.  I also think the corn was being cut in the field behind the property for whatever that was worth.  Carry on.

What brand camo boxer briefs? I’m on a flight to India right now to hunt Tigers and it’s 142 degrees there.

One deer doesn't make a trend IMO.  The deer are always out there.  I never said it wasn't worth hunting in warm weather, I just believe that more activity takes place in cooler temps.  I have shot deer when it was 70 degrees, but I have seen lots more deer activity when it is colder.

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      Hello everyone I’m currently looking at a house in deposit ny I’ve been deer hunting for many year mainly in Columbia and Greene county never been to Broome county. Before anything I was just curious how is the hunting there ? I know there aren’t any antlered restrictions in Broome but are there monsters out there or is it mainly just small spike? If anyone from that county or knows about deposit and broome county would get back to me i would appreciate it. Hope everyone hunting today catch a big one thanks.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      The procedure below to carry the bow is detailed below:
      You have to use a cotton towel or something similar. You have to wrap it around the bowstring. Doing so ensures that it will not cause an injury with the bowstring coming in contact with your body. It will not be that sharp either. Once you cover the bowstring with the towel, you have to wear it like a sling. So that it will not fall away from your body. The best way to cover the bowstring is to use a large enough towel. You can wrap it around twice as well. When making a sling out of the cotton towel, you have to ensure that you tighten it to get a snug fit. In that case, it will not slip away. Consequently, it will remain in place. When using this technique to carry a bow on your back, it is essential to practice before going in the wilderness. Only when you can move briskly and without noise using the scanning mechanism should you go ahead with it. To remove the bow, you have to hold it at the bottom. After that, you have to slip it over your head as well as arm. Doing so ensures that you can remove it quickly. When trying to focus on a prey, you need to remove the bow quickly. The technique for removal that we have highlighted above can certainly help you do so.

      A Hunter's Obligation to Know the Rules
      By JDN2K
      Just want to relay an experience I had this weekend regarding hunting regulations and other hunters.
      I've had several  hunter's tell me last weekend(10/12/2020) that muzzleloader was open, it is not. I also had two other hunters last weekend confront me as to why my son was carrying around a rifle and hunting deer. I calmly explained the youth weekend and the rules around it. After that everything was cool and we continued our hunt.
      I know at the end of the day we're all trying to participate in a sport we love and maybe harvest some game. My thought is to just make sure you're up on your local hunting regulations. Not just so you are within the rules, but also so you can assert your right to be where you are, hunting the way you're hunting.
      I know when I have been operating outside of the regulations I have appreciated a person respectfully correcting my ignorance and I try to pay it forward by being informed and respectfully educating when required.
      Thanks for listening, off my SB...

      Bolt Action with Pistol Grip
      By Alfredo
      Hello,
      I am in the process of purchasing my first rifle to go hunting deer for the first time.  However, I have received contradicting information regarding the types of rifles that are legal.  Based on what I have read, it appears that I am able to use a bolt-action rifle with a pistol grip and a detachable magazine which holds 10 rounds.  However, I have been told that this is not the case. I can't seem to find where this is stated.  Can any one here provide me with some insight into this? I'd really appreciate it.
      Thanks in Advanced,
      Alfredo
