Actually hunting with snow on the ground is awesome, you seem em easier and it's a helluva lot easier to track. Even the 10 degrees isn't that bad as long as you dress for it, and you get used to it after awhile. I can't imagine walking through the brush and about step on a rattlesnake...*shiver* Call me a nancyboy but no thank you..
I agree with that. You can see them quite a ways out with a good snowcover. Problem is....they can see you too. I always get a kick out of setting stands up for bowseason that I can barely find in October when bowhunting because they are concealed so good. Come middle of December you can see them from the road a mile away.
I think unzipping my ground blind while it's still dark and getting in it to be greeted by a rattlesnake would absolutely freak me out.
