What awful conditions this year in the south!

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?

It's been good for camping but that is about it.

Looked out my window this morning and saw over 100 elk on the hill above elk heights
They have it down to a science

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...

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.

Sounds good to me!
I may have been picking up your garbage for the last year.
There, I deleted those streets so nobody can clue in on your secret buck!
