Boy howdy Dave I cant imagine it like that. If we get a foot of snow thats a major snow storm for us. It always warms up in a few day and its all gone. Most of our snows are 1 to 4 inches and gone in a couple of days. We have cold enough weather for snow, but usually the front moves in at +32 degrees and the temp starts to drop after the rain has ended. The folks up north are better set up for that weather than us. I sure feel sorry for the game up there and i see where the wolves could really do some serious damage in that kind of weather. I'm sure that it has a direct effect on your buck size or does it? What i mean is that im sure they come out of the winter in poor shape and got to build there bodies up before they can grow big racks. Right or wrong?
