Halloween Deer Hunting Forecast

The weather forecast for the last week of October and into the first of November is looking like great deer hunting conditions here in Pike County, Illinois. With the highs hovering around the mid 50’s and lows in the 30’s, deer movement should be great. Rub and scrape activity will be reaching peak levels within the week. Daytime buck movement will increase as bucks begin to cruise searching for the first does coming into heat. Hunting the entire day during this time of year, especially with the weather conditions we are going to have will be productive.

There will be a major high pressure cold front moving through Pike County next Tuesday. The temperatures will be falling throughout the day with a cool North wind to follow the following day.  The pressure is rising, peaking mid-day on Wednesday. Slight North-West winds, and the highs in the mid 50’s and lows in the 30’s. These are the types of days deer hunters dream about all year. The monsters might be seen in daylight this Halloween. Good luck!
