We're feelin' that fall chill this weekend, isn't it great? A powerful cold front has swept on by, and a Canadian high pressure will settle overhead the next few days. High pressure tends to calm down the atmosphere, but it can really hype up the deer feeding activity! Field edges will be hot as temps cool quickly the next few evenings and travel corridors should be good with very chilly starts in the mornings. High pressure also means light winds which can really ruin a hunt. In the mornings, if possible I stay on hill/ridge tops due to the terrain creating a small wind current that flows uphill in the morning. During calm evenings, I feel more comfortable hunting closer to the bottom of the hill. As the temperature cools, the air sinks and flows like water towards the bottoms which adds a downhill component to the winds. In the mountains it's a common phenomenon, but it only really shows in Iowa when the winds are calm/light. Test it out tomorrow, it works! Good luck!
