TroutHunter 39 Report post Posted November 6, 2016 13 hours ago, gsambray said: Was having a lot of action at my spot lately but with the warm temps everything seemed to have just shut down. Not coming to feed and no daytime movement. Not sure why. No sign of wolves or bears and I am the only hunter in that location. Oh well try again tomorrow I second you on the lack of daytime activity, feed is getting crushed at night... may last daytime pics on the trial cam are from before Oct 24! lets hope the temps drop and these deer get moving during shooting light! Good luck Quote ** People often ask me why I like hunting and fishing so much... I tell them that those are the only places where my mind doesn't think....

gsambray 172 Report post Posted November 6, 2016 Yup it's frustrating when you see deer during the day and the temps cooling off. Then the time of the rut gets near and the temps rise to crazy warm and the deer disappear. I still sit all day in my blind hoping something comes through but lately it seems like a waste of time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TroutHunter 39 Report post Posted November 6, 2016 Just got in from an evening hunt/SD card swap out... Nothing coming in... 216 pics on the cam since Nov 2, not a single daytime pic of a deer. This weather needs to change!!!!!! Quote ** People often ask me why I like hunting and fishing so much... I tell them that those are the only places where my mind doesn't think....

Dirttracker18 26 Report post Posted November 8, 2016 Same in both my deer archery locations, lots of nighthawks as the weather warmed. Unfortunately it looks like it may not cool off much until the rut is over. Went back on Saturday to where I missed my chance at a nice 8 point the week prior. I was in a t shirt into the evening Quote The Great Outdoors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scandiman 114 Report post Posted November 8, 2016 I don't think the warmer weather has much to do with it. Bucks are still gonna chase does during the day. Several daytime deer (does and bucks) have been harvested in my neck of the woods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gwhunter99 17 Report post Posted November 14, 2016 Spent the last week sitting dark to dark. Great deer on camera but all nocturnal. I'm so far back in the bush the wolves must be the cause. Little human activity back there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nnev 70 Report post Posted November 14, 2016 Thursday morning was the first morning I caught does and bucks on cam during the day in a while. 7:30-8:00 AM doe and fawn on cam at the feed pile and 8:10 a nice 10 walked by after them. Friday saw a 2 bucks and a doe around 10:30-11am and some more movement sunday around 930. The rut definitely has them moving despite the warm weather. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirttracker18 26 Report post Posted November 15, 2016 My wife and I sat tonight for our anniversary, yes you read that right. Two years ago she harvested a buck on our anniversary hunt Unfortunately nothing moved anywhere near us so no anniversary deer for us. Most of our daytime movement is in the morning or around lunch. She has made some morning hunts while I am at work but the cameras tell us she just missed them each time either just before or just after her.

Jayfishin 63 Report post Posted November 17, 2016 Looking forward to some snow on the ground this weekend and lower temps. Last week we saw three but at a distance during the am. Warm weather definitely makes a difference for daylight movements regardless of the rut. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mooboy76 4 Report post Posted November 17, 2016 I've only got a couple of ground scrapes, and one doe on camera at 3AM. No sign of predators on camera, and I don't see any obvious sign around my place. Lots of raccoon and hare activity though. Oh, and I think I'm supporting 20 blue jays.

gsambray 172 Report post Posted November 19, 2016 Tagged out today. Well by 9:30am. Took a nice doe. And the best part was after walking out and getting my truck as I walked in with my sleigh to drag her out there was a nice gnarly rack buck standing over top of her. So since I had a buck tag he went down too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
