Well here it is November 3rd in downeast Maine. To some people this means nothing. To me this brings the second Saturday of rifle season. We are scheduled to have hurricane winds and hard rain this afternoon throughout the evening. Bad news for hunters, right? Well, not necessarily. What this means to me is that the deer should be moving big time this morning. Due to my wife’s surgery I am unable to get out there early morning due to having to get my son up and going in the early part of the a.m. Another strike against me your thinking, right? Not really. I will be meeting up with Mark about 9:30 and taking to the woods for a couple hours. Due to the incoming weather deer should be moving even at that time of morning. Of course, I’m a firm believer that the bucks move most between 10 and noon anyways. The other important factor(s) are: most people will be out of the woods by then. They will have called it a day and will be drinking coffee at the local store. If they have not called it a day, there is a good chance they will be walking through the woods after sitting for a couple hours this morning. So, with Mark and I posted and these factors coming into play, I believe we stand a good chance to fill a tag this morning.
I will certainly keep you posted and let you know how our November 3rd hunt went.
