Default Hunting in the Snow

I was planning on hunting saturday but it is calling for over 10 inches of snow on fri night-saturday. Since we dont get much snow where I live usually, im not that experienced in it. I want to know if deer will move when it is snowing hard because it is calling for it all day on saturday.

Thanks yall

Hunting in the snow is the best. The Deer show up visually at very long distances. You can watch them forever. As far as heavy snow I would go for it. In past years I have taken Deer in all kinds of nasty weather. Tracking in the snow is the one of the things I really enjoy. They can't get away.Last weekend it was 8 degrees when I went out with 4 fresh inches of snow, I saw 23 Deer and took a nice Doe.
