When weather like this blows in, the deer leave the woods entirely. They don't drink there, eat there, frequent there nor sleep there. They go to a nice Hotel 6 or something and when the weather clears, they head back out into the woods.

Or at least that's what some may have you thinking. LOL! Me? I've seen plenty of deer moving in some hellacious winds and snow. I either do a stand sit or go and still hunt looking for them. More often during this type weather, I'm still hunting. The scales have now tipped in my favor. I've killed several does and bucks still hunting in bad weather. It gives me a huge mental advantage as well, which helps me stick it through. It's not often fun being cold and wet, but every now and then, the hunt ends favorably with some backstraps fryin' that evening!

The odds are if you stay home, you won't be missing anything. Yet again, no one knows when the one time you'll see a deer during those inclement weather times when you should've been out there. Plus, how can one learn to hunt during those times if they sit at home?

Don't forget your bino's!

Good luck,
