Quick Shot

We've got a fast moving cold front blasting through the state this afternoon. The big thing when you hear meteorologists talking about fronts is 'change.' Fronts change the wind (sometimes reversing it), they change the pressure and often times when there's moisture, they change the sky cover or increase precip. chances, but primarily they change the temperature. This can make for tricky hunting conditions since you have to pay attention to the timing and all of it seems to be changing, but the payout can be great and in the form of heavy horns in your hands! Fronts and storm systems, especially the big ones, almost always increase the deer activity! Today's system is just a quick shot of 'cool' air, so no huge speed bumps are expected in the forecast, just some subtle changes that can make all the difference. Deer movement should be decent this evening if you're lucky enough to slip out of work early but it will be breezy. High pressure settles in tomorrow for a chilly, calm morning and a warm, tranquil afternoon. Movement should be great along travel corridors in the AM and in transition zones in the PM. As always, the harvest is helping hunters out by squeezing those deer out of the fields. It's an exciting time to get out and hunt! This evening: Skies will be mainly clear, winds will pick up from the NNW 12-18mph, Pressure will be low but rising and temps in the 70s.
