here in ny it is supposed to be raining with high winds for opening day of deer.   I ussualy love to stalk in these conditions, but now that i have a homemade bow i am a litle wary of giving it a soaking.  also, i hate to stalk through the best bedding areas on opening day.   seems like sounding the alarm the hunt is on.  what would you all do?  i have 5 places to hunt including my own farm, the smallest one is about 130 acres, but they are all farms with small woodlots/hedgerows.  i know we will move deer if i stalk through them, but like i said, i'd hate to sound the alarm season has started.  was hoping to ambush from the trees first.  plus the hickory belly and boo back on my bow basically glow in the dark they are so light, ad i am not willing to cover up the wood.  interesting set of problems.....

I was thinking of stalking with wind down hedgerows towards my brother who will be sitting at far end.  this has given us both great results in the past.  super slow puch with me getting shots basically.  tell me what you all would do.

" tell me what you all would do."

  I don't stalk.

  I don't hunt in the rain unless I'm caught out in it.

  The first year I didn't want to cover the wood either but deer seemed to see me getting into position for shot without a cover. I put a spandex cover from 3 Rivers on it when I hunt.

  I'd wait a few days for weather to change.


         Only what I would do.... you do what you enjoy!! ;D
