We are in the midst of another warm streak, with temperatures reaching into the mid 50's. While this is great for those who don't like the snow and the cold, and it helps keep the heating budgets in check, it is not good for the end of whitetail season.
The warm weather has slowed the deer right down, and with the sunshine we have had they are sticking close to their beds most of the day, not moving around at all. Reports from numerous hunters in the area are that very few if any deer have been spotted moving during the day this week. With a temperature drop into only the mid 40's for the weekend, this may not be enough to get the deer moving.
So the recommendation for you hunters out there is to get into your spot EARLY in the morning, and maybe catch the deer on the way into their beds for the day. The don't seem to be moving early enough in the evening to be seen, so the best bet for the weekend looks like early A.M. Set those alarms early, and remember make that shot a good one because with a muzzle loader it's probably the ONLY shot your are going to get.
Best of luck to everyone on the remainder of their seasons, remember send those pictures/stories in so we can get them featured!!!
