Remember when you were a kid and got the news from the radio that school was cancelled due to snow? What a great feeling! Having the day to enjoy the white stuff. Well this morning I got the same feeling after we decided to cancel work for the day.
So what does a hunter do on a snow day, got that right, grabbed my longbow and went for a walk.

Followed this trail for a bit...

Saw this rub along the way. Promising sign for my area at least...

She headed into an old pasture with lots of small saplings. I stalked her for a while but the closest I got was 40yrds...

I also had a beautiful red fox come less than 10 yrds in front of me but he busted me while trying to get a pic. Another doe also worked her way by me through some thick brush and disappeared. I had an idea where I wanted to be for my final stand until dark. On my way sneaking to it I crossed a fresh emergency exit of one I must have spooked out. Another, less pretty but large fox wandered to within 12ft of me and I was able to get several pictures.

I wasn't able to get a shot on anything other than with my phone, but it was still a much better day than swinging a hammer :archer:

Beautiful day, that red fletching sure looks good against some snow!
Cool pics , thanks for sharing!
What a great day off! I agree with my grand dad, who often said, "Any man who says he likes having to work for a living is either a fool or a liar." Therefore, whenever I got a chance to skip out, I TOOK IT! I have never hunted in snow, so those pictures look especially inviting.
C :cool: :cool: L
Really awesome pictures! Hunting in a fresh snow really is an unreal experience!
Looks to have been a great snow day. Love hunting in the snow.
I love snowy days walking in the woods. Nice pics of Fox.
Nothing like being in the woods after a good snowstorm covers your hunting area, there is always increased activity. Throw on the snow camo and hit the woods :thumbsup: Cool pix, Thanks for sharin.

Just kidding enjoyed the pics it's nice to have a reminder that there more,to it than just a,harvest.
Thanks for sharing. We are getting snow here tonight and I will be out tomorrow having fun!
