What’s y’all opinion on hunting in undesirable conditions (warm and rainy) trail cams show rut activity at night. Would you wait until ideal weather or go for it? Think I’m gonna wait until it cools off. I’m messing up or no?

Can't kill them sitting at home....

But can I scare them off? I’m all for getting after them but if they don’t move except when it’s cool will my scent in the area send them packing?

Typically I don’t hunt hot unless it the rut

Biggest deer I ever killed temp was about 78 - he was in full rut

Yep, if you got hot does, you gotta be hunting!

Right on. Definitely at least one hot doe on cam and buck right on her heels. Just kinda stinks because it’s after hours. Don’t want to bust up a good area if It would be better to wait for this next cold front in hopes they would act like that in legal shooting light.

So far 3-0 says go for it.
Any more suggestions?

They will still act dumb in the heat.

4-0 says get after them

Summer heat never deterred me when I was younger and I can guarantee you that it will not effect the thoughts or movements of a rutting buck either. If you are in the middle of the state you better be getting ready to sit and watch because it’s coming. Should be two more weeks but I saw a buck pushing “ I’m not going to say chasing just yet but he was very interested” this morning.

Nobody waits for cold weather when trail cam show buck action at night?

Starting some day said buck is going to show up on that trail camera during daylight. You can either be there waiting or you can get a picture and then start hunting

Excellent point. I just keep telling myself that if I wait they’ll show up during daytime hours.

Side note: I’m wrong a lot!!! 😂😂😂😂

you need to be hunting regardless of weather during the rut. If you have hot doe around you will see bucks.

If it’s the rut, you better be in the woods. I made the mistake one year in Lowndes county. It was about 1030 in the morning, 80 degrees on Jan 30. I decided I had enough of this BS. Well I stand up to start climbing down and about 30 yards behind me is a doe and behind her is an absolute giant of a 10 point just staring at me. Needless to say I learned a valuable lesson that day and will never let the weather determine if I hunt during the rut or not.

Where do you hunt in AL that deer are rutting right now?

The biggest buck I ever killed it was 75 degrees and the early part of January, warm and muggy, I was sweating going to the stand and kept saying nothing would move that day......I did some blind calling with a doe bleat when I got in the stand and 10 minutes later, he was walking straight to me at about 30 yds when I saw him he turned broadside and I pulled the trigger....11pt.....

If they're rutting u better hunt anytime u can

Deer are going to rut regardless of the weather conditions.
