This thread is pissing me off. Screw you guys.
I know. 80 here tomorrow. Low of 55. No front. No rain. Next Friday is my all day hunt and the moon is looking good with the moon guide and "cooler" weather starting at the end of next week.
 
Was out last night and when I left home saw two bucks next to the road. One was a mature 8. High was 65 and the start of a warm front. Two days prior were in the 40s. I hunt a heavily pressured public land where small game hunters blast shotguns like the wild west. 5:45p the buck and doe I have been targeting begin sloshing around in the marsh but too far for a shot. Deer will move despite the warm weather.
 
Hot as crap here in TN and it should push most of the activity to night time but with that being said my brother witnessed a buck chasing the heck out of a doe at 2:30 in the afternoon during 87 degree weather this week.
