This year with my muzzleloader. I woke up late and it was windy and cold. Some light snow flying. I went up got some breakfast and tried to think of somewere I could go sit and not freeze my behind off. I looked at the wind direction and decided to try to just sneek up on a small patch of woods that I knew held a good buck most of the time. I headed out around 9:30 walking into the wind and watching everything in the overgrown pasture. I closed in on the woods and followed a thick stripe of pine trees to help conseal me. Then I slowly made my way over the hill and sat next to a small cedar tree watching the small patch with my Binoculars looking for any sign of deer. I called once to see what might show up and thats when the deer got up. 3 does came out in my direction slowly looking and the big 10 pt went out the back side onto the field and looked for me from there. He just stood out in the wide open field with snow flying looking for the other buck he heard. Just too far to shoot I sat and watched. Nothing better than seeing big deer where you hunt, even if you can't always get them.
