Best of luck on your hunt CI. Deer or bear? Either way, be safe.
DD, it's not bad. I know what he's getting at and he's right. There is an issue. The tricky part is how to handle it without driving posting traffic to a standstill.

That's the truth. Couple of minutes can make a difference. Storms can move in fast at high elevation.
I about got beat to death by hail on Mount Evans when I misread the weather. Watched that storm blow up over the mountain above us. We were already above tree line and exposed. I had two city girls with me who were doing their first fourteener. I thought we were in trouble, and they were scared. But it cleared out after a few minutes.

For the record, I think the "blizzard cow" story with pic. was a good answer to the OP's post.
It's quite a contrast to my hunting where I'm near the gulf coast on flat land at about 65 feet elevation. A few years ago we got a rare have inch of snow and I hadn't seen a deer track in the snow since I was a young kid growing up in Arkansas. I raced out to the woods that morning just to see it.
The western hunting stories do make me feel a little lazy. I have a good story when my southern whitetail buck is big enough I have to gut it before I can lift it up on the 4 wheeler.

There was actually a bit more to that blizzard story that I'll tell about one of these days. It involved a brazen bear that hung around and on Rob's cabin attracted by deer quarters. That was an epic trip.
