Long story short, whether you think they’re moving or not, you should be going. As many people like to say “can’t kill em from the couch”

Ill be hunting this weekend. Might sit in my stand more instead trying to still hunt through the thick brush since I won't have any wind or rain to cover the noise I will be making but definitely will be out there.

It's always a balancing act, and so I have to try to set myself up for success as much as possible by identifying the most opportune times.
Add in a 1 hour drive each way plus a 1 hour hike into wherever you're going and the windows of absence get large enough that it requires a lot of pre-planning. I love my life now and wouldn't trade it for the world, but it sure was a lot easier to get out and scout all the time when I was a bachelor and it was just me and my dog in the woods together all day!

10 years ago you'd see a dozen deer each trip to the woods.
Now it's pretty sparse.
I'd get a couple miles from a gate, find a fresh rub line in 4-5 year old prod, adjacent to a creek with thick timber and just sit.
Friday evening before the big low and Sat am after it moves through will be perfect.

The deer are always there. When I lived in Washington I usually saw more blackmail with a light rain. Get out & hunt. Your chances are exactly 0% sitting on the couch & there a limited number days to hunt.
I think it really depends on where your couch is at.
I see tons of deer from my couch... :chuckle:

Wanted get out so bad I'm antsy as heck. But going to church and then a celebration for 45 years of service from our pastor!
I think the grandson will make it out with me this afternoon.

Wish I could be out there now. I've missed the past two weeks with a flu bug. Rotten timing!
Thats a bummer! Hope you get feeling better soon and get out and get a chance at a big one!

This is why I never go out in the rain. Been blackmailed too many times.

Crap monkeys. I hope you’re feeling better and get out these last few days.
