Cold Weather Arrives; Deer Disappear
Posted by lowcountryhunting on December 19, 2007
We finally made it home late Saturday night from our trip down to Florida for work, but not before breaking down in Jacksonville. Our van’s fuel filter had clogged up, and that shut the fuel pump down. Luckily we were able to limp to a station, and the the pump was fine after we changed the filter. Just a little excitement to make the trip home better!
Will came back with us, and we have tried to use these last couple of COLD days to hunt hard, but with no luck. We sat until 10am yesterday morning in the 21 degree weather and did not see a thing. And last night was more of the same – sunny and cold, but no deer. We just knew they would have to get up to eat in weather like this, but I guess not. The four months of hunting pressure probably does not help either.
We did see quite a few fresh scrapes over the last few days, so we were hoping to catch up with one of the late rutting bucks. Chip had one chase a doe by him on Cubbedge Hill this past weekend in the 80 degree heat, and then saw two good ones during midday chasing over at the Blount Place. So we figured that the cold would really make them move for us. However just like the rest of the season, the deer have not done anything that they are supposed to.
We are getting Will on the road this morning back to Florida, and then I promise to get a few new posts up including one to fulfill my MEME TAG!

Jeff,
Glad to see a post, sorry the deer are not moving.
I am addicted to your web site and check it several times a day whenever I am by a computer. I also showed to a couple of my buddies. Hope the hunting gets better, we are seeing some scrapeing that has started with our last two cold fronts. I am going to the woods soon.

I hate those deer sometimes. They never do what we want them to.
Looking forward to seeing the MEME post.

I guess I never realized it got that cold way down south. We haven’t had but a couple days in the teens this year. It’s been a strange year here also. It has been very hard to pattern the deer, as they aren’t following the “rules!” I guess we hunters have to get a little smarter.
