Default Hunting in the ICE STORM?

Anyone braving this ice storm? If you are how/ what areas, bedding/ food are you hunting?
I plan on going out in the morning even though they are calling for 1/4- 1/2" of ice & freezing rain.

I'm trying to go out tomorrow, but I'm watching the weather. If its to bad in the morning I may sit out the morning hunt and just sit from noon to close! We'll see, good luck to you!

I went out in it the other morning and had to really watch the stand...It was freezing and getting pretty slick....The deer don't seem to be moving like I thought they would

I hunted Saturday afternoon in it near a bedding area and didn't see a deer. I had to keep cleaning the ice off of my arrow and bow. I am almost glad nothing showed up. Not sure my arrow would have been hitting where I expected it to.

I think sometimes...just sometimes......The thing to do is stay at home. It's not worth getting hurt, or worse. That's just me though.
