Andy S. said:For the area I hunt in SW TN, I have traditionally taken off work the first two weeks of rifle (Nov 23 - Dec 8 this year) and hunted every day. As for this season, I am seriously thinking about not setting my dates in stone, watching the weather closely, and hunting the "best weather days" per se between Nov 9 and Dec 8. Two to three years of less than desirable weather, temps and so-so daylight deer movement during my days off has driven me to consider this approach.
There's a lot to be said for that idea Andy. When breeding actually peaks, and when hunters will see peak rutting activity while hunting can often be two very different things. And in my opinion, weather is the major player in most differences.
