Warm weather has been suppressing the rut for many areas in central Iowa. A lucky few are seeing the big boys moving, but overall, activity has been low. The moon says the rut is here and with a little forecast good fortune, deer activity is about to be kicked into overdrive!
This should start Wednesday evening as a cold front moves in from the west ending a warm sunny day with a few scattered storms. Thursday morning, a stout west wind will blow cool air in from Nebraska heralding the new weather pattern and keeping deer on their feet most of the morning. Thursday evening round two begins. A new storm gathering strength over Kansas and Missouri will drop the pressure and switch our winds to the northeast. Hunting should be good as the does head to food sources with big bucks in tow! Friday will be just what the deer doctor ordered as rain showers change to rain/snow showers central to northeast Iowa by Friday evening. Saturday will be breezy & colder with clouds and flurries the first half of the day. Deer might bed down during the worst of this storm, otherwise I am expecting almost non-stop movement Friday and Saturday. Cold, calm conditions will grip Iowa Sunday morning and make for another perfect day of hunting. Based on where we are in the rut, and the sudden plunge to cooler/wetter weather, Thursday through Sunday should be the best days to hunt this year! Bag a big one!
