This year in Minnesota anyway, we haven't had much snow in any part of the state for tracking, except maybe in extreme northern counties. Most years I choose to go deer hunting the later season just in the hope of getting a few inches of snow to see where the deer are traveling recently and to track the blood trail if the deer runs a ways after it's hit. Thankfully, most of the time my deer haven't gone far after the first shot.

It can be a bear to try to track either way without snow to help. Good luck!
