Are the deer stampeding now that we have cold weather?

All we've heard for three months is that it's too hot, weather sucks, heat, deer not moving because it's hot and how "cold weather" will get them moving.

They should be running around with their tongues hanging out by now. How many y'all seen already?

I saw the biggest scoring deer of the year I've seen while hunting. They definitely moved better than they had been the last couple weeks. Its gonna have to be a giant for me to shoot one.

Not sure if it’s the weather or the deer just aren’t used to me being here on a Monday but I’ve definitely seen more action today than I have on recent weekends. Regardless I enjoy hunting more when it is cold than in the weather we have had lately. Haven’t got the first mosquito bite today.

For the last two weeks we have averaged 1265 deer per day being reported......During the last 24 hrs there has been 1713 deer reported for a 27% increase associated with the passing weather front. It could be more deer moving or more people in the woods.

Where do you get the reports cameras, phone calls, taxidermist, game wardens, people have a # to report sittings. Water fowl reports are done mostly by fly overs the main river channels.

I just hunt when I can, but I’ve saw 4 before 2, had a few more trickle through since

Been the busiest day I've had all year. I just ain't seen a full grown un. This weather hit at prime time where I hunt.

Definitely sky rocketed deer movement. It also hit right smack in the middle of rut for a good chunk of the state.

Ehh…

Haven’t seen any yet. This one plot looks excellent. Maybe this cold will get them in the plots more.

We a couple weeks out from prime time here...i hope it stays cold I'm scared to screw em up to bad just yet

I have seen 18 total for today. Saw 5 this morning and 13 so far this afternoon. Still got a little time left this afternoon.

I saw 5 yesterday before the front moved through. Unfortunately had to get back to work today

Heck no they dont like freezing cold in Bama. Tomorrow when it gets back to average temps with so.e sun should ve excellent!

Lol I'm with u...i reckon places are different and I've had people telling me all day I needed to be hunting but I bet I see deer tomorrow in pastures that I didn't today...I'm really just holding back for the rut activity, I've almost went to much thus far in good areas

I saw 5 this morning and 20 this afternoon.

I ain't seen 25 deer on any of those hot days.

I saw 13 one evening last week. I only saw 12 all day today. They came and went all day today then a bunch came out right at dark. These deer around here dont do what theyre supposed to most of the time. Like a bunch of unruly kids

I run 7 cell cameras on our club. Cameras went crazy all day with lots of buck movement. there was more than double the movement today compared to any day over the past 2 weeks.

This one ought to be a slam dunk - Darrel Dawkins style - yea - just look at the kill thread on cold days - I hav talked to diff processor in cold days - both said getting most deer on cold days and not even a close race

With that said - biggest buck I ever kill was in 77 degree weather - but it was the heart of the rut

Thinking back over the years - colder days always been better for me - hot days generally slower

I saw 16 doe - 3 bucks - 1 an 8 yesterday evening in the cold - just saw 12 doe and good buck this evening - shot the 8 - very cold - was a wrap around waiting line at processor- ain’t seen that all year - of course it was in 30s at last light

Hunted 4 straight days in muzzleloader- first day only semi cool day - over 10 does - small bucks and a decent 6 - rest of the week hot - few does each day

Think cold weather and deer movement was proved back in caveman days

Walking off w rim in my hand 🤣

I saw 12 bucks and 10 does in a 1 1/2 acre field today. I saw 11 does and a spike there 2
weeks ago when it was hot.

They are chasing hard.
