I'm with you!
I went out this morning for a couple hrs. after work, hoping to catch a doe feeding before the storm.  Not!   nothing feeding but squirrels, turkeys, and crows!

went to bed, got up. looked out the window and said: "oh, CRAP!, I better get busy!!"  Plowed the driveway....why I don't know...it's deeper now than before. Tried to go to work but turned around: when I'm pushing snow with my bumper and my subaru is having trouble----time  to park it!

Guess  the deer are safe for another year!  :archer:

Morning hunt got scrubbed - couldn't get to our parking spot.  Will give an afternoon/evening hunt a try at a different location.

I was out last night in this mess till dark. I had about 3 inches of snow on my hat. It sure was pretty and there was plenty of cover with the snow weighing the branches down. Didn't see anything but a hawk.

Man o man Doc, I'll bet your valley was beautiful to look at though eh? I can imagine sitting on the porch with a hot cup of coffee and loooking up the holler. Must have been something.

It would've been tricky walking up the hill though!

I went out Friday as the snow was coming in.  Didn't see any deer but saw a hawk knock a little bird outta the air mid-flight and land on top of it.  It all happened right in front of my stand and I just happened to be watching that little bird flit on by when the hawk hit.  Pretty amazing.  I ended up walking two miles home in the blizzard that night.  Had about two inches of ice and snow on my wools when I got home.  Didn't see any Saturday evening and just said the heck with it and stayed in on Sunday.

On the bright side, it's just a little less than 8 months to go til bow season!
