How is deer movement in fog?

[robbyreneeward]

It's foggy in RRC and I'm 20 feet up. 50 degrees. Never hunted in fog before. What y'all think?

I like the fog but it limits visibility.

Ive seen a big ten in the fog in Young county. Ya never know.

Something to consider:
You might consider the scent factor when foggy. When the air feels heavy and fog lies close to the ground, your scent also will hold close to the earth instead of rising as it will on a cool morning. If you have a stand in a tree, your human odor comes down the tree and mushrooms out. Any deer coming through where you hunt has a better chance of smelling you on a foggy day than at any other time, except when the wind blows your odor straight to him. IMO

Hunt the wind when its foggy too.

but there is no other weather condition I'd like to hunt then fog. I love it when they materialize in close quarters out of the mist.

I say hunt on baby

My buddy shot his biggest buck (11 point) in te fog. He saw legs walking towards him and figured he would shoot a doe. He was shocked when he walked up on it.
