Can you guys believe that it's going to be warm again this weekend? Do you guys hunt in warm weather? Up to how high of a temperature will you hunt?

warm weather hunting sucks, 40-50 is perfect temp. range

Hunt a pond in the morning/ early afternoon.

beats florida hunting.I hunted in shorts and no shirt with a bug tamer on over top.Cant hear nothing but buzzing from the masquitos.Now thats some hot hunting.Even in the palmetto swamp!!So up here if its 70 i might hunt.It all depends on how lucky I feel.I have seen many a deer in the woods in 70-80 degree weather while setting stands or just scouting or hiking.

I perfer 45-55 tho.Perfect temps right there.

Bring on the cold please!

[sssurfertim]

End of october seems to always be good on LI, someone in my group always get a deer around the week of Halloween.

[JimmyDaSavage]

I agree with you surf. End of October is always the good time for me. I still go out early season though as I just love being in the woods.

Does everyone mean deer or buck b/c a deer is always an easier task then a nice buck.

Deer, im just as happy wether it has no antlers, a spike, or a good buck. But we do start to see more bucks during this time. But a deer is a deer, the only thing we won't kill is a button buck if we can try. But after my sucky season last year because of my crazy work and school scedual, and my health situation now, im killing the first thing I see this year when I get back in the woods in the next couple of weeks.

Some people say they are active all winter on LI ?????

[bellmorekennels]

I have been out with beagles last few weeks ,seem ticks are almost gone, BUT, when a warm spell comes in , seems like they explode, so be carefull out there guys!!!

[JimmyDaSavage]

I use the sawyer spray and have had no ticks in the 2 years I have used it. As for deer I hunt on public land and if I am lucky enough to see one within range I will try to take it out. I love me some deer meat.

[sssurfertim]

Ticks will die after the first frost, don't have to worry too much after that.

could be true, i can not recall picking any up in the winter but i do know you might get some on dragging a deer out since the deer is prob covered in them... i was just saying i have not had any one me all weekend. kind of surprising.

[Karpteach]

I agree Geno, it was surprising not seeing any ticks or chiggers last weekend.

I disagree with both I use a lint roller when I get to my stand and the same back my car and if you look close at least 50-60 larvae ticks. Plus I have had shots at deer everyday I've been out I have nothing against shooting doe but I do it in December last year I past a nice 7 bc it was crooked from a fight on my property figured let him grow bigger and straight for next year then I got nothing that will not happen again.
