I to was iced in today, but I am lucky enough to be able to get to some woods without actually driving. I went out for about 2 hours this afternoon and just slowly walked around and checked out some fields. I had not seen many fresh tracks, so I figured the deer would need to feed at some point.

Finally after a little over an hour I saw my only 2 deer of the day, 2 does. I was able to slowly stalk within 42 yards of one of the does, and held tight behind a big pine tree. I knew the doe was going to cross between 15 and 20 yards in front of mewith the route she was taking.

My mistake was that I was so focused on the closest doe that I wasn't paying attention toher partner. After hearing it blow behind me I soon realizedthe other doehad came into the woodsand gotten downwind of me. Oh well still had a fun time freezing my butt off out there.

Last year's storm was a bad one. I was stuck in my house for the better part of 3 days, but it was in the middle of shotgun season so I was able to get a little hunting done and was lucky enough to harvest a doe by following some fresh tracks.

I live on top of a huge hill and there was no way I was going to be getting off of it last night during the middle of the storm. Hopefully it lets up a little tonight so I can make it to work in the morning. On second thought I hope it keeps on coming so I can hit the woods again
