Opening weekend weather blows!!

[Redman]

After much anticipation, the weather for opening weekend blew! Friday was not bad and Saturday morning was OK, but after that the weather made it almost impossible to hunt with a bow. For fun I would try to hold steady on a target and could not even hold it still. Would have been a great time to find a bedded buck with the wind making all the noise, but I had no luck.

 

Anybody have luck?

Same kind of weekend for us. The weather sucked. We actually glassed up over 50 deer this weekend. We were seeing little bucks with the does. And they would not stop chasing them around. Its only a matter of time before the big boys start showing up!!!!

went out friday and gave up over the weekend with the wind but wish i would have gone out today I love cold breezy weather with a little rain as long as its not to drerry deer run around all day think I'm gonna try to give it a shot tomorrow but I heard the rain is coming as it was suppose to today but never showed up. i'm gettin real sick of carrying this tag around for the past year arrows are gonna start flyin at anything with horns if something does happen soon.

It was the same deal out here on the Carlos rez too. Nice, Saturday AM spotted a 3X3 buck two ridges over in unitD. By the time we moved our glassN spot to get a better look he was gone. Then by 10AM wind from the SE. I don't mind wind but when it blows your tripod and bino set-up over it BAD.

Sunday was a bust too.......rain, sleet, snow and wind on the Santa Terresas. But at least the Muleys and WT are ruttN bigtime on the Mountain.

Went down to 36C on Friday and Saturday, had a great time on Friday and saw quite a few deer, Saturday was horrid as the wind was relentless. Friday we saw about 40 deer all but one were mulies. THe one coues we did see showed up at our blind outa nowhere at 62 yards and i passed the shot to my hunting partner which he gladly accepted only to have his arrow deflect off of a branch he could not see, oh well was a rush none the less. Out aof all the deer we did see 4 were bucks one being the coues i mentioned previously (probably a low 80's buck) and 3 mulies one of which was a toad. You can bet i'll be back out on Friday!

Thanks for the replies, I hated going home on Sunday from 33, drove to Mesa and the weather was ok so I and went out in 37B. Did not have much luck in 37B around Superior. I hope to get out this weekend and it seems like the weather will be great. Good luck!

well right now the only thing exciting about this weather as long as it nasty throught the next day or so, that first sunny morning should be fill with activity.
