Monday's a Must Hunt!

A lot of hunters took advantage of the November Antlerless season this holiday weekend. According to the Iowa DNR, last year, 10,000 licenses were issued and hunters reported harvesting 2,980 deer. This year antlerless quotas are higher and many folks have taken to the timber. Normally all the extra activity would have the deer hunkered down in sanctuary for a few days, but their need to feed is once again going to put deer on the move in central Iowa. Falling pressure and another very large storm system will be blowing in for Monday bringing more wind, clouds and rain showers. Temperatures will be mild in central Iowa with most of the rain shower activity around the midday hours and relatively light. So morning and evening sits should be as good as we could expect from the middle of a powerful November storm. I think the evening will be the best, with drizzle and fog likely, very low barometric pressure and an arctic cold front knocking at the door. That will make Monday a must hunt, so if you haven't filled your tag yet, a food source or travel corridor sounds like a good plan to me!
