Hunting snow?
#1
I was just wondering what the best way to hunt when you are getting snow.... Do you hunt through all the snow, do you wait till the snow stops, or whats the best way to go about it? Thanks

If its not a blizard hunt before , during ( no deer movment change) and after.
If its a real snow storm I have great luck just before and just after.
The deer move to feed heavely just before and just after a snow storm .
Have fun ,dress warm in snow camo or sky line type camo

Hey Brett, I took cody out hunting tonight and at about 2:30 durring the heavy snow we had a button buck walk up to us and cody shot it. Ran about 80 yards stopped and did a backflip and died... Let me know if you went tonight and if you saw anything. i will post the pictures later. It was his first deer and he is PUMPED.

I didn't have a chance to go out at all today because i had some previous engagements for this morning , and i had to work 2-10 pm. I just got home a lil bit ago, and im going to wax my bow string, and tighten up my quiver because somehow it got loose... I and doing a scent free wash on my camo and then im hittin the sack...Gonna get up in the morning, eat some breakfast, and be in the stand by 6:30. I personally like to be on stand an hour before sun up. I'll let you know how it works out. BTW, were you guys hunting behind Pete's house, or by Valley oaks? Tell him congrats too!!

before , during, after, just do it! i've had my best hunts in a snowstorm, and stalking is very east when it's coming down. i shot a deer in its bed this year after a hour stalk through a mini-whiteout. it was very cool!
