Peaking High Barometric Pressure that is. I hunted yesterday, Tuesday November 12 in a low. Rain, snow and 25 MPH winds. I saw plenty of deer. But nothing I wanted to shoot.. I watched the weather closely last night and saw a Cold and clear day coming today, Wednesday. I saw that a very High pressure system was going to peak today in our area and said "I will not Hunt."</p>This Morning while dropping my kid off at the Bus stop, I was admiring the pretty sunny day and thought What the Hey. I'm going hunting. As soon as my kid got out, I was driving off and dumped a full cup of hot coffee in my lap and standing 1/2" deep between my legs. My thoughts went from Bucks to roasted Nuts for some reason.
Back home. A full change of clothes and a quick wash off and I was going hunting... After a stop for fuel then waiting in the long line at Bojangles... Then I was on my way.</p>
I climbed into my tree stand at about 10:00 am with the sun shining brightly but hardly making a dent in the Twenties Temperature I was feeling to the bone.</p>
Every thing was so perfect, Clear and cold, the sun to my back, the wind in my face, the leaves in the thickets were dry and I could hear the Doe over my left shoulder stomping trying to get what ever it is she smells to move.. I hear her walk away without coming into view.</p>
I sat there remembering the High pressure status we were experiencing for today and then started questioning as to why I had decided to drive for an hour to deer hunt on top of a mountain in a Peaking High... Nothing! I sat there thinking of my comments last night on CFF about Big Bucks in the late mid-day so that helped me stay contented. Still Nothing... I stayed in the stand the entire day from 10:00 am until Dark-thirty and saw nothing at all. I did get down for a few minutes to go fetch my evening Pork-chop Biscuit from the truck...</p>
I should have known better than to hunt High on the Mountain during a peaking High Barometer... Listen people Understand what I said about never hunt in a High.. Nothing is moving, not even the squirrels. LL</p>
