Iowa deer bow hunting season is just days away, and the weather couldn't be better! It's a bit warm with highs in the 70s and 80s. The last few days I have seen much less feeding activity during the daylight hours in the evening, but the mornings have been great! The waning moon (Click on the link under Trail Cam Picture for the current moon phase) is still pretty bright and lingers in the western sky throughout the morning hours. Combined with the cool mornings, this is making early and mid-morning activity pretty good! The bachelor groups are starting to break up a bit, with the larger deer establishing more dominance, but I am still seeing 'waves' of bucks passing by the trail cams. If your in an area around known rubs or scrapes, stick around and your patience will likely pay off.
Deercast: Wed. 28th; we'll see temps in the mid 80s as winds switch WNW 10-20 late evening. It wont be the best to hunt, but transition areas or right next to bedding should still be ok. Thurs. 29th; It will be breezy throughout the morning with winds picking up NW 10-20. The pressure will be rising as high pressure moves in with clear skies and winds should relax by evening NNW 5-10. Opening Day Friday; High pressure is still overhead making for a chilly start in 40s with west wind 3-7mph! This will be a great morning to hunt! Winds will likely switch from westerly to NE 10-15 for the evening, and a cold front will be backing in from the north. This might make the evening surprisingly good even though it will be warm (70s). Sunset activity should be fair especially NE of Des Moines!

Season is almost here, and the deer of a lifetime might be waiting right around the corner. Happy hunting!
