WEATHER!!!!

Unread postby backstraps » Sun Oct 28, 2012 11:10 am

I have some friends in Ohio that are coming home today due to the weather over the next four days!!

FIGURES I am heading to Ohio in the morning. :?

At any rate, local weather in some of the towns I will be hunting are predicting high winds, rain and cold temps.

Sounds like I will be scouting and maybe hang some stands for two weeks from now and maybe a couple stands for after Thanksgiving week with shotgun.

Here is my question.... when you are scouting naturally you try and aviod your scent blowing into bedding areas.
So in high winds 25+mph, and raining, will the rain cause my scent to NOT blow out far from me?

I am asking because I really dont anticipate much hunting the next 4 days...but rather scouting and hanging stands.

What are your thoughts, and if you were 6-7 hours from home and the next 4 days were going to be a bust due to weather... would you scout new property etc? What would you do during this down time?!

Cold is good. If it ain't a hurricane or an absolute downpour, Id be hunting. If its pouring I'd be hanging stands. If it's a hurricane I'd be hunting on the ground or stalking/ stillhunting...
