We have had a turn of really cold weather lately and I have been stuck in the house. Today was a little warmer and the light snowfall looked like something off of a Christmas card. I decided to get out and wander around a little.
The plan was to do some stump shooting but after I couldn't find the first two arrows I shot in the deep snow, I put the bow back in the truck and grabbed my camera. Here is what I was able to put the sneak on. The deep snow and falling flakes dampened any little noise I made. That or they knew season was over.
I was hunkered down in front of a busted down tree top. She was at 12 yards or so.

The cold had zapped my batteries and I just managed to get the lid slapped closed and get a shot of this group between 15 and 18 yards.

They hardly EVER do this during season! 8 yards.

I had a good day. Shot quite a few more pictures that I will save and look at during July and August to help with thinking cooler thoughts.

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I hope to get out again this weekend.
I like the earlier suggestion, if you could disguise a bow and arrow as a camera, it might just work.
Hey Tracy, I have a couple of pictures of a buck in the area with a double throat patch. I see quite a few like that.
