Anyone else loving this snow and cold for hunting?

This is the time of year I live for! Can't get enough of it. Been out hunting every night!

I like the cold for ice fishing :fishing2: - since I have my tags filled already, but you are correct, this is a great time for hunting if you have locating the deer, they are back to some routines again focusing on the food since its getting covered by the snow. 
GOOD LUCK OUT THERE!

The cold is ok but the snow SUCKS!!!!!!!


As a driver for UPS the snow kills you.  Nobody knows how to drive in it.  Planes are late with the air packages.

Bring the cold but leave the snow.

Hey! We aren't talking about driving here... You can find that at the UPS forum. This is a hunting forum and we love snow and so should you

Lets all pray for a foot of snow on the thin ice.  That will make for some really good ice fishing.  It will also make it harder on the deer and other animals to find food. 
Cold yes, snow no.

Cold yes, snow no.

The harder it is to find food the more deer we will see on our food plots

About 4-6 inches of snow on the ground.  Just right, don't need any more.  I wouldn't mind a few degrees warmer.  I about frosted my tush today.

I like it, just have not been out with the smoke pole this year yet.  I will be on stand Saturday hoping to fill a doe tag!  Fricken gas is over $3 in Cottage Grove here so I hope I only need to make the 2 hour drive once to get a doe to help some family members out!  Good luck to everyone out there!

We currently have nothing but dust on the ground, but are expected anywhere from 4-8 inches from today until tomorrow.

I'll be sitting on stand at the least until 12 pm tomorrow on a piece of land above the whitewater SP area.

Two years ago in this area with snowfall I had around 12-15 deer come in behind me to bed down in the morning. Ended up with one doe out of that debacle.

Last Saturday I had hung a couple scent wicks out and forgot to take one down when I left.  Yesterday I went to the site and found large deer tracks all around the scent wick.  There even was a large deer bed about 5 feet from the wick.  I hunted that stand for a while hoping the big guy would come back to check it out.  I spent an hour or so walking the area checking out where deer travel.  In two days they really made a lot of tracks.  Or, possibly there are a lot of deer.    My son and I saw 6 but no bucks.  Although I was dressed for the cold, I still perfer hunting when it's closer to 30 degrees.

If I remember right from pictures of your stands DE, you should have plenty of room to fit a Mr. Buddy in there with you........

22lex, yes, I would have room in a couple stands for a heater.  However, the stands I'm hunting now are ladder stands.  Just enough room for me to stand and rotate.  I rarely sit because deer can (and usually do) come from any direction.  The butt of my gun sits on the seat so It takes minimal movement to get it to the ready.
