Actually a storm like that can either get them moving early looking for food, or they bed down and sit tight. Especially if there isa lot of hunting pressure. Thats why when it snows, I like to sneak around and try and catch one in their bed. Especially if I can find a fresh track, I walk that out and normally will find them either standing around with their face in the wind, or in a bed laying cross ways to the wind (why they do that I have no idea). I've shot a lot of deer in bed. How they got in my bed we'll never know...

I think we're heading for a bad winter. At least that's what the deer fat is telling me. I butchered two does from different parts of Michigan and they were bother very fatty. My buddy that helped me butcher one that's been around the block a few more times than I have said he's never seen deer this plumped up!

Get ready for a cold one.

I think they lay crosswise so they can look downwind and they can smell and, of course, hear anything approaching from upwind. INMHOP!!

Well Corey I would say the weather is warming based on our temps. Has been above freezing the last couple of days and the forcast for the next week is more of the same. Truck is covered in mud from Saturday's snow flurry which melted as quickly as the snow came. Well I forgot, maybe all this heat was left over from that meteor that lit up the sky around here last week. They think parts of the meteor may have fallen as close as 40 miles from here. Main portion hit a good 300 miles away.

thumper ... that was always what I believed too. Its funny because I've sat in stands and watched does bed down in front of me, and they almost all do the same thing.

statjunk ... you must have known my old man. He would always say the same thing when we butchered deer if they had a thick layer of fat. Thick fat.. bad winter. And his other was how high up in the brushes the paper wasps made a nest was an indication of the expected snow depth because they never wanted to be under the snow lines..
