Anybody hunt yesterday?

Warm morning yesterday. Noticeably slower morning in my area of west Tennessee. Is there a reason why colder temps produce more movement or just opinions lol?

Wear a full-body fur coat in 60-70 degree weather and try to run around in the woods all day. I bet you'll prefer the cooler temps.

Does everyone notice across the board the lack of activity during a warm snap?

It might be warm, but the does are HOT!

It's possible that there could be a lack of activity, but when the rut is on, the bucks have only one thing on the brain. Their constant search for that one thing causes weight loss. That's why the post rut has us focusing on food sources. They're recovering. Watch for days like today where the warm temps are ahead of an impending front. The bucks may not be as deterred, but doe movements are still relatively patternable, and where they are, the bucks will be, too.

I hunted yest in Middleton. Saw 3 bucks and dad saw 6 doe's. All from about 8am to 1 pm. It was warm and windy, but they were moving.

I seen deer as well. Up until yesterday it wuz hard to see does without a buck pushing them around. Yesterday seen multiple does & one buck of which looked wore out! All the more mature bucks I'v seen this year were hounding does. Still haven't seen lone bucks seeking.

LOL, yesterday evening was the best hunt I've had all week.
After sitting on stand day after day without seeing anything I finally saw two does. No buck activity but seeing a couple of does sure beats nothing.
