Rain for Modern opener
« on: October 08, 2012, 12:09:12 PM »
Looks like some places have a chance of rain for Saturday!
I'm pretty happy about it unless it dumps.

What is every one else thinking?  :dunno:

I'm beyond restless for this years Modern Deer opener. I cant sleep anymore.

Dump or drizzle ill take either i guess! Get some movement out of the deer and possible camp fires as well as not sounding like a freight train on the hike up.

A drizzle will do nothing buy make everyone grumpy there was not more.  The needles, cones and twigs will still be crunchy as hell... there will be no lifting of the burn ban.

We need a couple days of serious rain over the entire state right now.   
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

We need to get a real good couple of daus of drizzle to loosen up the ground..All a good down pour is going to do is cause flooding..  Besides,, a couple of days of a good drizzeling rain will do better for the deer movment than a down pour..

 :yeah:

a few non stop days of drizzle wont make the deer stay in cover and bedded down like pouring rain would. non stop drizzle will also keep everything a bit moist.  :IBCOOL:

I am not to worried.. gonna be in my spot an hour before daylight, let the sun come up on a huge open basin, let a nice, big, legal mule deer walk out, drop him in his tracks, start packing out.  Be home for a beer by 2-3 pm opening day, bloody, tired and happy.

And a good rain will get the rivers green and high bringing in lots of salmon to distract other would be deer hunters.

Did some scouting saturday and found our area sounding like a bed of eggshells, lots of noise, so Im praying with all of you for a little moisture!

I must respectfully disagree with your assessment.  A down pour would not cause flooding.  The more water the better.  We need it to rain hard for three days or more.

I just read a weather report that said rain on Friday for Arlington.
