interesting weather forcasted for opener

<< < (2/2)

DanaM:
I'm heading out after work but think I will avoid the tree stand with this wind, the swaying of the tree makes me sleeeeeepppy ;D

GregB:

I don't stalk either, but like to scout for sign just prior to a rain...or during one. Washes all my scent away is my theory. I've found deer to be more jumpy and nervous acting during windy conditions, also if rain there is the problem with tracking.

As for your bow and camo, a hunting partner of mine covers his hickory bow I gave him with camo tape. It comes off easily with causing problems with the finish. You might consider only putting it on the back of that bow like most snake skins are applied. :)

You can always remove it for a photo session if need be... ;)

Ryano:
A natural colored bow shouldnt be a problem, it should look like every other bent stick in the woods as long as the finish isnt to shiny.
You may laugh at me, I know its not very primitive, but I bought one of those porterroof blinds(its basicaly a umbrella that straps to the tree) And it works great! Keeps you dry and keeps you in the woods longer, and I have killed several deer while using it. They dont even notice it.

armymedic.2:
haha, i;ve seen thjose umbreall's.  pretty funny.  i was wondering if someone would say not to hunt in the rain cause the bow would get slow, or warp, whatever, but since noone did i guess i will.    does noone else worry about stalking right away?
