Another movement story. I think it was late Dec. through the first week of Jan. 94-95 we had a extreme heat wave in NA. Some of the older fellers may remember it. It was in the low 70's for highs , with high humidity and fog several days. This was right when the rut should have been rocking . Folks were off for the holidays , no one was killing anything or seeing anything for that matter. This unseasonal weather went on for about two weeks. On Friday about the 10th weatherman called for a drastic change , Alberta clipper with 40-50 degree temp change. I hunted that Friday AM , killed a dandy buck. Temps were falling by the minute . That afternoon it started snowing and the wife and I rode around looking at deer feeding in the fields , unbelievable the numbers we saw just in an hour or two. Over the course of three days , Friday, Saturday and Sunday there was more big bucks killed than the rest of the season combined. The processors went from slim to none to overflow in just a couple of days.

Anyone , QDMA , FBI ,CIA, you name them, that doesn't believe the drastic weather change above didn't increase movement and feeding activity over movement the preceding two weeks is ignorant of how whitetails operate , PERIOD!


"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
