    Hunting in the snow has to be one of the most relaxing and peacefull things that I have done in a long time. I got the chance to deer hunt while it was snowing here in NC back in Dec.

    I have always wanted to try it...

    I just have never had the opportunity. Most of our foliage is gone now so with the snow I would think I could slip along and follow them until I could get a shot? How do you guys do it? I dont really want to sit in a stand.

    Sittin in the truck beside a soybean field with the heater on worked really well for me a couple of times this year..... Also those walkers sure can smell when it snows

    Time to get your creep on Mike.....I love cutting fresh tracks in the snow and still hunting my way up on em. One thing to remember......SLOW....be the cat. I have most of my sucessful snow hunts on mornings after an evening snow fall, once you find their bed your on the right track. One of the hardest things for me was learning not to have tunnel vision, your on a good set of tracks and you can clearly see which direction they are heading....so you focus on that and fail to look ALL around.....the smart ones circle back and by the time you hear a snort your busted. I do well around groves of small pines, it gets them out of the elements but also dums them up a little bit.......bring your bino's, once on a good set of fresh ones its slow going and alot of glassing......you would think they would stick out like a soar thumb in the snow but they dont....ive crept up on more deer bedded down in the snow near fallen trees, most times its an ear twitch or just a little bit of movement that catches my eye through the bino's.....dont look for a whole deer.....look for parts of em.
