Holy Snow!

Cancelled my bowhunt today. I absolutely HATE this weather.

Good news is we will be able to follow the deer runs.
I gather they will be forming trails now that we have that much depth

My friend, deer have been scarce this year, apparently as a direct result of our horrible winter last year...

If this crap continues, there will be NO DEER to track...

[DanO]

Yeah we need ever thaw that comes along to shorten this winter that's for sure. I hope next week is all above 0C to give these deer a break.

It's part of global warming

Due to the inconsistency between what was predicted and what is actually happening, it is now officially called "climate change".

...or "climate return to normal"... We had winters worse than last in the '60's and early '70's. In 55B it took until the 1980's for the deer pops to recover to what they were in the '50s.

We should not reduce doe tags though, that would be an abomination :P.

I am worried about this year, we shall see how it all works out.
Worse than the snow would be ice in and amongst this snow, those hard layers with the snow make it a lot harder on the deer than snow on its own.

my blind just blew away :P

[dutchhunter]

ice can bring down a lot of trees and branches that is the deers main food source all winter .the deer on are farms are hiding down in the gullys in the swamps were the cedars block the wind .I bumped 4 last night on the walk out .just a little to far for a shot .if you want to hunt In this weather find some deep gullys and work your way thru really slow with the wind in your face .you will find deer .Dutch
