Weather and the rut

[Hedgelj]

I know we're in or entering prime-time.

However, I'm looking at highs in the 50s-70s this week and lows in the mid 40s. Will this adjust things or just more dawn/dusk and nighttime movement and less during the day?

Id say morning is your best chance the first couple hours. If you have a watering hole i would hunt over it. Im kicking myself for not building one 3 years ago after 75 degree temps first week of November.

It is hot and they are already dressed for winter. That being said, I've banged women in tents when it was 90+ degrees.

This weather doesn't help hunters. They'll move more at night and less during the heat of the day, but it doesn't mean it can't happen at any moment the next few weeks. I still think we're a bit early compared to past years, so I'm hopeful by the time the weather flips, they'll be ready to rock.

That is literally exactly what I said...

But how far did you have to chase them before you got them in the tent?

What's been said above, AM hunts while they're still on their feet for the next couple days. Just went and found my thermacall... FFS, OH in Nov and a Thermacell!

That cold front on the end of the forecast thou.... but it's been sliding out further for the last couple days.

They are still going to breed regardless of temps. Seeing activity will be minimal during the heat of the day but if you have a hot doe close by it can get really interesting real quick.

Weather doesn’t affect breeding dates. Period. Does have to get bred at the same time of the year every year. Some sooner than later. The only thing I think weather counter acts is the longevity of said rut activity per day and the point of time it takes place during said day. You think this is hot, move to Florida and hunt our rut down home lol LIFE CHANGING
