I got to test out my snow camo for a week in ND and found that the key there was pre-drawing my bow and holding at full draw. The deer were very skittish and on guardwhen in close but if I could draw when they were 50 yards or more out it wasnt a problem. The deer I hunted were moving from point A to B at a good clip so pre-drawing and holding was NOT a problem.

On the ground I can not count the number of deer that walked by me some as close as 4 yards.. Never once busting me and looking right through me. In a tree, the one tree I hunted while out there, because I pre drawed they detected no movement and all walked by with no suspicion.

I think if they see any movement in late season, they are on pins and needles.. especially if you hunt pressured lands. I hunted here in IDAHO all of December and again could not get away with any drawing late.. I had to draw (ALWAYS in a stand even with unreal background cover) I had to draw early the bitter cold and quiet days especially when any little noize is magnified. On the windy days I could get away with noise but still not ANY movement. I drew on several deer early just to practice. No matter how good your camo is, movement is a killer imo on pressured skittish deer. Obviously if your wind is bad, your likely to get busted when they get in close. Jm2c from doing a ton of late season hunting in snow camo both in Idaho and ND.
