I wish we could always get about what we've had in the past few weeks all the time during the season. I went out yesterday to do a little predator hunting and you could see 200 yards through the woods. Really showed me what I was probably missing before.

Deer and snow....In all the years I've hunted I haven't had the opportunity to hunt in snow but a couple of times. Once I was camped with a couple of hunting days left and the snow started falling heavy. In a matter of a few hours we had 6 inches on the ground. You could see a sparrow flitter 200 yards away easy. I figured that would be great for sighting deer. I never saw one. I've never seen one hunting within 3 or 4 days after a snow either. Since we're not used to the snow around here (the deer either) do you think the deer realize that their movements are easily detected and they reduce moving during daylight? I was hunting areas that I normally see deer even during hunting season. ditto
we had a 6-8 inch snowfall on a trip to hickman county years ago. the deer disappeared. in 3 days, i not only didn't see a deer, i never found the first deer TRACK!!!

They hole up in cedar or honeysuckle thickets for a day or two, or three or four, if they have to.

I was at Fort Campbell several years ago in late December and it began to snow. Deer came out of the woodwork for a couple hours until the ground was covered and then we didn't see anything for two days.

It might make them a little colder and the ground a little more slippery to walk on.... Never wondered that since deer have fur...
