What awful conditions this year in the south!
« on: December 09, 2008, 07:54:42 AM »
Anyone else fighting terrible hunting conditions this year for the late muzzle season?  Dry and warm weather, crunchy leaves, none of it is condusive for chasing bucks.  I was hunting in a T shirt last week.  And its December!  I've only seen one small buck and a handful of does. 

Anyone else having a hard time fighting the weather this year?

The news is forecasting snow in the valley floor (Willamette) and snow levels down to 1500.  Right where I like them!  This weekend is shaping up... :IBCOOL:

Oh, I know.  Its coming down to the wire.  Although I live in Vancouver, I hunt near Mt. Adams, so the elevation will be a little higher.  Hopefully in time for the very last weekend for blackpowder.
