I hear ya.

Cold and dry is bad enough. What makes it worse is when it's still with no wind. You just can't cover ground and still hunt very effectively unless you luck into a grass-covered spur road that somewhat conceals your noise. Best bet is to set up in a known deer haunt and wait em' out if you have the patience. In this scenario, early and late as Dogfish eluded to.

That's why I prefer a nasty, $hitty day, I can hunt hard all day, concealed and have taken deer through out the day in different seasons.
