well monday it really sucked 100 % rain & soaking wet i heard a few shots late that afternoon. but was just miserable to hunt in. tuesday was heavy snow & about a foot fell & 40 mph winds . very hard to walk in. but finally did see my first deer around 5pm but too far to shoot. today i will head out late afternoon. i see a low deer harvest.
