Yes but only because I have a draw hunt and also today and Sunday I have off from work. Hope to put a bullet in one.
 
Absolutely, just because of the timing! Obviously it would be better if it was cold, but this time of year you just take what is dealt! I wont have much opportunity due to family stuff but I will go when I can.
 
Seen some great bucks in Mid-November, however lately they're becoming nocturnal again in my area. But hey, ya can't kill them on the couch!!!
 
I can't stand this hot weather, but I will be going Saturday for sure, and probably Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon maybe not. 70s is too hot, and I know its the rut, but I also know they probably want get up till after dark. I only get to go on the weekends, and not even every weekend so I will be going. Just dissapointed, it seems like all deer season Monday-Thursday has been decent weather, and Friday-Sunday has been hot weather. O well.

Ill hunt Sunday afternoon just because that's the only time I will have. When I have a chance to go I will no matter the weather.

i had a feeling someone would mention the couch phrase
 
Absolutely. The weather was unseasonably warm for the opener of rifle up here, and I saw a lot of activity in the mornings before the wind picked up. I'm anticipating similar movement in the morning.
 
this may be the only weekend i have to hunt...and i'll only get 1 hunt probably.

short answer, YES
 
I have seen days when the weather was cold all day and thought I would see lots of activity and see absolutely nothing. Other days it's the opposite and so I go whenever I can because I know there is always the opportunity if you're in the stand. Heck, during early archery season it's hot most of the time and I still go. That deer might get bumped from his hiding spot and he doesn't care if it's cold or hot and I want to be there.
 
saw 2 young bucks chasing does this morning on 2 differant farms any time you can get in the woods is a good time
 
If I could only hunt on weekends I'd be there. Since I can hunt 7 days a week I'm not wasting my time. There will be better days. Granted you never know but I'd give it better than a 99% chance you're not going to see anything once the temperature gets over 50 degrees. Some bucks may be with does but if the does aren't moving the bucks are going nowhere. The shame is that the rut timing is at hand so almost all movement will be at night. Wednesday and Thursday look like the first decent days temperature-wise this week but by late morning it will be too warm. Friday rain is forecasted and Saturday's temps look good but rain starts about 8 AM. Sunday looks good. Long range forecasts are iffy though. The bright side is that some of our better bucks have been taken the first 2 weeks of December.
