Look for wind swept areas exposed to the southern sun and make sure you're there if the sun comes out and temps rise above freezing. Under those circumstances, the best time to hunt is mid afternoon. You'll be knee deep in deer.

If temps stay cold, and especially if it's windy' hunt the hollows protected by hemlocks.

The harsher the weather and the deeper the snow. the more the deer tend to get bunched up. (remember the FLIR study results) Think cover and easiest food and you'll be surronded in brown
