RE: Hunting in Snow Yes or No?
Love to go out in the snow.. Bad side is I'm southern IL and we got all ICE.... You guys took what snow we were supposed to get.. [:@]LOL
Good for you though, get out and hunt in it.. Good time to stalk also if you like to do that.

The first good snow of the year usually puts the deer in a hole for a while, but within 24 hours they'll be hunting food in a big way. Sure you go hunting.Will you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner today. Deer get hungry too. They need fuel to combat the cold and snow. It's harder to find, they search more in daylight hours and they search longer hours.

I love to hunt in snow. You can see a lot further than normal and you can see all the fresh tracks after a snow. I learn a lot about how the deer travel and it helps me set up better for the next year.

My favorite time to be in a treestand is when there's at least 4" of snow on the ground, there is little or no wind, and really big snowflakes are raining down. Makes for some beautiful scenery and good deer hunting.
