does not make since
 
I hate hunting in the rain, I will think twice about going out.

but when it snows, I rush home from work, don't change cloths, grab an ml or my bow, and get on my stand.

first real snow of the year, I just got off from an 10hrs shift, back hurting so bad, I could barely walk, but the snow was falling, did not even strip off my work shirt. had an nice coffee smell going. GRABBED MY BOW and headed out for an hour. few signs but nothing. since I was not dressed to hunt, nothing really warm on, I headed in.
lol

I wish we got to hunt in the snow once in awhile.

with right clothing and especially the right boots, hunting in the snow can be a lot of fun. I really do enjoy it.

Hunting in snow, the main thing for me is keeping my feet and fingers warm. If my fingers and toes are warm I can take a lot of weather abuse.

Although I hunted one year and got so cold I developed the start of hypothermia. When I got out of the woods I was already in uncontrollable shivers and had a hard time even walking. And it was all my fault. I never been that cold in my life.

I love to be in the woods when it starts to snow.For some reason deer seem to get up and move. When it snows hard,I love to still hunt.got a big doe in the snow last sat.

I like to hunt in the snow. I wish I could have gone out yesterday afternoon and then again this morning. Friday afternon/night we got about 6 inches of snow, then Saturday afternoon it cleared out and warmed up into the mid 20's and sunny. Now again this morning there's just light flurries. Not sure why but when I look out my window it seems I should be out in my stand. But I think I'm on kid duty the next several mornings, and work in the afternoons. We have one more week of muzzleloader season and then that's it until next year.
As for still hunting, I understand the concept, but I think I'm horrible at it. I've tried it a couple times, and am yet to see anything. I think I'm probably too loud, but I'm not sure.

Our hills rifle season started on November 1. Finally notched my tag on the 18th. Evidently i too, am horrible at it. So many times, i witnessed white things waving good bye as them deer ran off. A couple of times, i came oh so close. Standing deer, but not for long, and no shot. For sure i am too loud, too fast, and stink too. The wind has to be just right, and the situation, and one has to move oh so slow. Myself, i can move slow enough for a long long time, but then i get bored, and start walking. Oops. Good bye deer.

On the 18th, instead of me stumbling into deer, they stumbled into me, whilst i was moving quiet, slow, and the wind was right; my tag was notched.
