Hunt Wed or Thurs on weather graph below?

Unread postby raisins » Thu Oct 10, 2019 1:39 am

The wind is the same both days, roughly. Wednesday is the start of the temperature dip, but it goes even lower Thursday (particularly in the morning).

Do you guys think the initial dip is the most important or the lower temperatures a day later? Which day would you pick for a 1 pm to dark sit? I'll be hunting paths coming out of bedding. Of course, this is a week out so things will likely change. The Thursday showers being the morning would suggest the afternoon being good, especially if I set up during the rain.

I'll try to add my picture, but it's my first time so might take trial and error.

Wednesday evening and Thursday morning should both be good with the rising pressure. What time is the rain scheduled to fall off on Wednesday?

Wednesday calls for 0.01 to 0.02 inches during every hour from sunrise to sunset to stop at midnight (start of Thursday). Thursday call for showers from midnight to 9 am but it is slight enough that the accumulation shows 0 inches each hour (so I guess just spitting enough to call it rain?). Thursday 9 am on is just cloudy. This is all from Weatherunderground in case that matters as far as how to interpret.

I don't have many places to hunt before sunrise without blowing out the stand. My plan is maybe to sneak in around 10 am and then sit and wait for mid-day movement or until they leave bedding to feed.

I would say Thursday. Lower temps and higher pressure. Friday would be ideal of course but you didn't ask about that haha.

If only one day, this is my vote as well.
