    hunting weather...whats your fav

    Hey everyone just curious on some of your preference for hunting weather and for what game your targeting...sunny for bears and passing rain for blacktails are mine....this year want to go for a big Okanagan mulley on a cold blue bird day.

    After it snows, I've noticed a tremendous improvement in my tracking abilities. Hunting whitetails in the snow is my favorite.

    I like hunting any time I can get out . But don't get really serious about taking game until cooler weather. Like to hang and process my game myself. So I guess I would have to say October when it gets frosty in the mornings and during the first snow falls. Bright sunny days are nice for scouting , but I like dull cloudy days just before bad weather comes in. Game is usually active longer in the mornings then and earlier in the evenings.
    Mulies in October , Wt and Moose in November. Black Bear in May.

    Fog obviously screws everything. Wind, besides not being able to hear anything, makes the game hunker down. Too cold and the snow freeze's into a crunchy alarm. I prefer just above freezing. Any amount of rain or snow falling. Depend to on how you hunt.
