To a deer a footprint in the snow is nothing. They are not that smart. Now if you wear leather boots, they will smell you, but they will never put two and two together as to what a human print is. Actually I would wager they will never notice. It doesnt snow here much, but ive had deer walk right along my foot prints in the snow. I love when there is snow on the ground. I can walk quiter and when I shoot a deer, it is very easy to track. Get out and get you a deer.
