Peak of the deer rut in my area, and it has SNOWED, big time for the deep south 8-9 inches in our location.
Bamaboy missed a doe w/ .243 in a quickie hunt just before the storm, poor guy, had we been just a few minutes earlier, we could been more set up and I know he would have made the shot, but..........he had to improvise w/ a field rest and did not connect.
I am going to resume hunting, but am not sure how what is a heavy snow for us will effect my deer patterns. I suspect they will hunker down for a few days in cover till they get over the surprise. I figure the bucks will move, and hope to bow hunt a funnel tomorrow AM close to home. Its been YEARS (like 20) since I hunted in any real snow.
Welcome any comments on heavy snow, hunts and the rut. We are relying on food plots due to a mast failure, and now the plots are buried. The travel corridors for wandering bucks should still be good, yes? That's my logic anyhow.
