It has been an absolutely lame October. Worst I can remember. Where have all the freaking cold fronts been? 80 degrees tomorrow. I used to complain when it hit SIXTY in early November. That would be a welcome sight.
That being said, did have a cool day Thursday and had a great 3 year old just out of range. Do have an anterless deer aging in the fridge, so it could have been worse if I had missed. Glad I didn't take any time off this week like I originally planned. I will not step into a treestand unless it is under 70 degrees. Did it twice this month and never again. The only thing that moved were the ****ing mosquitoes!!
Never thought I'd say this, but bring on December!!

Yep, I empathize as similar last year during Sept muzzleload huntSadly its been a warm October out in Kansas, reached 90 degrees last weekend
I guess silver lining is plots have gotten additional grow time!

Frustration level has increased here as well. We have had 2 light frosts here all fall. Havent checked a card in a week or more. Havent hunted in over a week. No significant cold fronts in the forcast. Forcast looks like a broken record. Its going to be a miserable rifle season from my work perspective (taxidermy) going to be a rush to try and salvage capes from deer that will likely not be taken care of properly.

Hard to believe my rutcation is next week. Feel like i need to mow grass, but the yard is pretty much leaves and dust. Pokeberry is throwing out another round of blooms.
I planned to hunt the 3 day weekend, but 83 deg and breezy kind of ruin the mood.
Feel free to whine a little bit in this thread. Its ok to release some frustrations.

Warmest muzzleloader season I can remember in Oklahoma with average daytime temps of 85 the entire 9 days. In our area we usually have frost by now but I have been camping all week sweating and sleeping on top of the covers even while running a fan instead of running a little heater at night.
But as I said before our plots are certainly doing well...

I don't have electricity at my place so last night I was running a little 12V fan to keep cool-with windows open. Unusual weather say the least. Hunting in light clothes and short sleeves in the afternoon. My rape is turning yellow, radishes are green but very stunted. I received less than 0.4" of rain for October and that small rain was over 3 weeks ago. Surprisingly the cereal grains are still nice and green living off heavy morning dews.
Actually we have been quite a bit hotter than 75 everyday but we might get down to that later this week!
