RE: Snow/rain hunting
I have had wonderful luck hunting around cedar trees and plum thickets in the rain. The deer sit tight and let you creep up to them as long as there is good cover to somewhat conceal yourself.They don't bust out as quickly while its rainy. The biggest buck I have ever taken was during a light rain and he was bedded in the middle of a plum thicket.I always still-hunt during a rain. I sit and watch crop fields before and after a storm. Best opportunity in my opinion is after.
