Storm this weekend...

[Ghunt]

I'm having trouble with the opener. This is my first time going blacktail hunting, actually first time going hunting at all. I can't seem to convince my dad that this bad weather is great for Blacktail hunting. He's mainly concerned about the fog up high and we won't be able to see anything. I almost just want to tell him to drive me up there and sleep in the truck while I go out and get one. Can any of you guys think of anything to convince him to go out this weekend?

Worst day in the woods is better than most days any where else.

If your hunting where I think you're going to then don't worry about the fog !! With the wind and rain you'll be good to go . This weather will make for a great opening blacktail weekend!!! Just put RAIN/X on your scope lenses and your binocular lenses and of course rain gear and good boots

   No fog in the wind and rain (unless you're up in/above the cloud ceiling).  Bad fog when it's cold and still. 

Dad - grow a set!     Just kidding.  Next weekend will likely be a little better weather.  Sunday looks OK too.

Holy Moly. That's some serious rain. We get a couple of hours of rain over here and it's a big deal. Wow.

Plant kill one from the couch

The concern I have is the predicted wind.  30-50mph with gusts to 65 on Sat.

Our group hunts SE part of state on the snake river breaks, wind and rain not such a booger, fog is my nemesis more often than not.....I like to sit and glass, between the river and the wheat fields fog is the ultimate buzz kill for me. S

I will be like lieutenant dan on the shrimp boat yelling at the storm.  C'mon wind!

I need to be enlightened. Why is the windy crappy weather so good for blacktail hunting?

The noise masks the crunch crunch crunch of cruddy hunters.

If it's like that it basically hides all your mistakes! It covers your noise, your scent, your movement, it's all hidden by the weather when still hunting timber or edges. Wind and rain are your friends when hunting BT! Especially at the end of October when the bucks are moving more and more leaves are off the alders and maples!

I think they like to top off before going to ground to sit it out.  In my case I am going to be watching their favorite apple trees as the storm builds.
