What a foggy day!

This fog is so thick you can stir it with a stick this morning! For some reason I feel like deer move a little better in this type of condition. I have had many good outings in dense fog. Maybe the moisture in the air makes it easier for them to smell things. What do you think about this?

A few years ago a friend and I were hunting in south Texas. It was a morning similar to this. The temperature was around 50 degrees and the fog was intense. He was seeing a few deer when two bucks began to fight in the distance. He couldn't see them because of the fog but the crashing of the horns made it apparent it was to bruisers battling it out. This went on for a few minutes when out of no where a giant buck appeared through the fog. The word he used was "majestic" as the animal slowly came into view through the fog. It was the biggest buck he had ever taken scoring a gross Boone and Crockett score of 173". I'll never forget the smile on his face when I pulled up and he was standing beside this magnificent whitetail buck!

What a hunt for my friend huh??!! Have you ever had similar experiences hunting in the fog? Maybe a deer just materialized out of no where?

    1. Thanks Frank! Yes hunting is one of the few things that I do where I completely forget there's a world.
