In Michigan, what cayugad wrote/typed.
+ many times when it has snowed, then got bitter cold, the crunching underfoot can be heard for a quarter mile. Those are the "watching" the paint dry" days, but can be very productive. I love to still hunt the most, but some times you have to sit. Really enjoy chasing antelope/deer hunting out west, never a dull moment.

Yeah, crunchy snow is hard. We get it too. I just move in slow motion.

That's why i'd like to hunt the muzzleloader season. It's early Sept, we rarely have snow.

The problem is it's during the rut and everybody wants it. Getting a bull elk tag for ML season takes points. So, I can only get it every 4 years when I have the points.

The rest of the time i'm in crunchy snow hunting for cows. :cry:

I always wanted to have the option of still hunting but in almost all of my many years of hunting the terrain where I have lived and hunted never allowed it much.

Yes, Still Hunting. When done right can be very effective!

Well, we all get tired FG. A little nap will perk you right up. :p

I have always taken naps when out hunting..this year i taught my 9 year old how to do it lol. we were on a steep slope and i said i was going to relax and take a nap. the boy says how i am sliding. so i proceeded to dig a sopt out with my foot to kkep my backside form sliding down the hill and took a nap lol. woke up about a hour later and he was sound asleep..carrying on the tradition!!:party0005:

Woke up once sitting on the ground with by back against a log and my chin down on my chest. Under the brim of my hat I could see four deer feet about fifteen feet in front of me. Nope, didn't get a shot off and so far as I know that doe is still running.

And laughing. :D

i am a little more cautious when the boys with me. we have a serious Mt lion problem in california..there everywhere! Ray

What usually happens to me when i nap, is i start in in a nice warm sunny spot, and then as the sun moves, i end up in the shade. I awake cold and shivering. This napping mostly happened quite a long time ago. These days, what with global warming, it is usually too cold, and snowy in the mountains. One good thing, beins how i am retired, i am more rested when i hunt, so don't so strongly feel the need for a nap.
