Deer and Fog

[down2hunt]

I thought I'd be covered in deer this morning. So far nothing.

There is a very heavy fog. Does anyone know what effect, if any, fog has on deer?

Same here

I have always heard to be ready for when the fog lifts then they will start moving once they can see better.

I have actually had the opposite reaction from deer. I have noticed that when it is drizzling and/or foggy it seems like I see more deer. I just had 5 does at the feeder here in Grimes county.

I've never had good luck when there was a heavy fog. A light fog with a little cold drizzle is another thing though.

Heavy fog: Can't see feeder.
Light fog: can see at least 200yds.

I have seen more deer in the fog

Survey says....mixed results.

My son killed his deer during the heavy fog yesterday morning. Works for him.

They are there you just can't see em.

Yep. Funny how often it happens that way. I think deer behavior is much less predictable that people think. And their behavior varies greatly by subspecies and environment.

I've shot a lot of deer in fog. I think part of the problem is they may be close but you can't see em.

Fog makes big boy hang out a little longer. IMHO and experience (although many times I don't see him..)
