D-N-R state deer biologist Jace Elliott says the bow and early muzzleloader seasons have started a bit below average as they’re impacted by unseasonably warm weather. Elliott says cold weather, especially cold fronts, get deer up on their feet in the daylight hours better and traveling more during daylight hours. He says hunters understand the impact of weather on deer movement, and will wait until it cools down to go to their stands to hunt. The bow hunting season is the longest one, so there is plenty of time for those hunters to get a deer.
