well it appears someone in the 5th Direction hunting group really stepped on the toes of the rain God!!!!! it has rain as hard as i have ever remembered for straight days! looks like by the forcast it should lighten up tommorow. i will be hunting come hell or high water but makes me nervous to follow a blood trail as the mountain will be drenched. i would have to think the deer have not moved all that much and they should be looking to feed as soon as it lets up. good luck to all that go forth tommorow!

OUCH 4 days??? i don't even want to think about that that!!! i only have 2 weekends to try and get a deer on the mountain before muzzleloader opens and had counted on 4 days of good hunting, going to be tuff tommorow.

Where I live in Texas, it hasn't rained for almost 10 days. We have bluebird skies right now. No clouds. Absolutely gorgeous sunny days. It'll be this way for the opening weekend of deer season which is this weekend for us.

Just think how good the hunting should be once the rain stops. I always see good activity before and right after a storm.

last i heard as of yesterday mid day, Wilmington NC had 22" in 3 days.

JustinNC · October 01, 2010, 08:34:00 AM

Just checked and NC hunting site and 24" in some places this week

Ducks have been drowning in mid-flight here.

Good luck Ken. I wish you success. The big pressure is off for me getting the bear, but I would like to take my first NY or PA deer with my longbow. I will be getting soaked as well.

ronp · October 01, 2010, 09:07:00 AM

Good luck this week-end, Ken. Don't slip and slide too much on that mountain. I'll be over on the flat lands on the other side of the Tug Hill.

We had over 90 days of straight rain here last year, a lot of it during hunting season. As for hunting in soaking wet woods I love it! Dead quiet and the animals are really active after a storm ends. Different strokes for different folks.

ron w · October 01, 2010, 11:29:00 AM

Checked the rain gauge at 9 AM and we had just over 4" ,creeks are running full......

Dave Bowers · October 01, 2010, 12:28:00 PM

Yeah it was coming down in southern nj as well

rkmnt2 · October 01, 2010, 12:29:00 PM

I'll be out there too....over in Lewis county...tomorrow morning if it's not too soggy. I agree with the poor trailing conditions problem and I don't like the thought of losing a deer. I'd rather wait for another day.
Have fun and good luck!! Don

Ron, that's just a trickle. We got 9 inches just yesterday in Annapolis. The wind is still blowing 25 mph but is supposed to drop to 17 mph by the time I hit the tree this afternoon.

Fins and a mask, boys.

It rained constant today until 3pm.The creek that runs through my property that's been dry for almost 3 months finally has water in it again.I've never seen it completely dry up like that.

Hopefully the sun and cool weather will have the deer moving good tommorrow.Good luck Ken.

woodchucker · October 01, 2010, 08:30:00 PM

Well, It's "official"..... The old roof finaly gave up the ghost!!!!!

(guess what I'm gonna be doing...)

Cyclic-Rivers · October 01, 2010, 08:44:00 PM

The deer were everywhere when the rain stopped. Too bad I was working and not hunting. See you in the morning Ken Someone will see something even of They're on the back of eyelids.
