The Warm Before The Storm

We have been really warm this month! Central Iowa has seen 90% of October with above normal high temps and only about 1/3 of an inch of rain! Once again the hunting weather problems on Monday will be temperatures and humidity, both of which will be high. So I think deer movement will be more nocturnal. But that's about to change! Strong storms will form in W. IA Monday evening along the leading edge of colder air. This air mass will blast through the area bringing chilly temperatures for a change, and that is sure to ignite some serious deer movement! In addition, the bright moon now Waning(past full) Gibbous (more than half) will be setting in the mid-morning hours. I've usually seen this scenario favor morning sits and deep-woods stands as the most productive. All this will combine with more pre-rutting activity currently being observed to make for a great end to the week and the month of October. Good luck!
