Do you hunt during a snow storm?

[rachunter]

How many of you hunt during a snow storm ? Tomorrow is suppose to have heavy snow with high winds I'm still thinking of going out just wondering what everyone else would do?

Deer seem to move more in the snow and cold in my experience, but the strong winds might make them hunker down.

Every buck I've shot  was while it was snowing except for one late October buck and that's over 18 years of hunting. As far as the wind goes I prefer hunting 15-20 mph wind

I will be out in the morning because it is that or sleep in and i definitely won't get deer doing that!

Love hunting in a snow storm !

If I still had a tag it would take handcuffs and shackles to keep me out of the woods! There isn't anything in the world that I love more than hunting in a blizzard.

Love hunting in the snow! Killed some of my best bucks in snow storms...besides deer being easier to see...also  to track, blood trail, and drag! Sunday will be an awesome day!

Definitely sitting the blind. But I'll be out dawn to dusk.

Deer go nuts when that first snow arrives, especially when the rut is in progress. Deer show up great when silhouetted against a blanket of white snow. The whole story of deer movement and patterns are laid out in the snow for you. All those things that you have been wondering about are now written in the snow for you to read. I love still-hunting in the snow.

yep  years ago if you didn't ..you'd have very few hunts....I've sat in blowing snow and -13 degrees...eye lashes and nose hairs frozen so cold it took an effort to raise the gun to shoot the deer...but they were moving as slow as me...lol

I will hunt a snowstorm well before I will hunt even a drizzle of rain! Rain is just a buzz kill, snow is like a wake up. You see the deer better, you can track them for still hunting, and snow makes for much better tracking of a wounded deer.

Weather is straight up winter storm quality out there. Friday it was 72, yesterday morning it got up to 62. This morning I almost got frost bite on my hands (precipitated a new purchase of gloves today that are waterproof plus warmer socks plus new waterproof overalls). 

I have the entire day off tomorrow and will be at some public land come sunrise. Also packing a stove and soup and stuff in the van so I can take a nice break later on. Am really looking forward to not carting around the tree stand to be honest.

Looks like you need to drop a few moth balls in the tote you store your facemask in for the summer,lol

This stuff ain't so bad in the late ML season, but it's still too early for me to venture out in Snowvember!

You look like Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw movies. Just sayin'.

[rachunter]

It's funny how you can't tell how much snow is piling up on you and your gear. My poor gun. 

[DirtTime]

Well, the light snow is falling here in 4B again. Just like it did this morning. There is no major accumulation expected. Hoping for at least an inch. Might be a tough walk with snow in top of wet leaves, hiking up a 45+ at times degree angle in the AM.

If I have the day off I probably took it off to hunt so I'm going . Gotta say the drive down and back I was questioning my decision 

[Jdubs]

Love it!  Those tracks in the snow don't lie and I can pick up movement much easier.  

Besides, who doesn't like to wear snow camo!
