It looks like absolute hell on earth is rolling into camp this morning and will be here through tomorrow. The whole reason I have been building ground blinds is to extend my season. Well the best opportunity to test them is here. Should I hunt this morning as this shit rolls in? I'm thinking so. Once there's enough wind roaring to cover the sound of me accessing, I'd head out (with a heater). Seems like a great story shaping up if it comes together.  |

It might be a good time to hunt, but don’t put too much pressure on the deer. It could be a long winter. |

Today might be fine but after the storm is the best deer action.

Once the winds die down I bet it will be awesome hunting...if it isn’t too cold and the deer wait out the cold.

I would suspect the deer will be moving pretty good and a lot earlier tomorrow here at TT. This is quite the storm!!

I made it 90 minutes in the blind. I was bored more than anything. I just didn't get the feeling anything was going to come out giving home hard it was blowing. And that was in the quiet corner of the property.

I would go as soon as the wind is predicted to die down. Be there waiting for them when the wind actually dies down.
I am getting soft now but when I use to bow hunt when it was -20 the deer never fed early morning it was always middle of the day. I am a slow learner and took me a lot of cold sits before I figured that out. Yep not the smartest lad.

Several years ago, I went out on the second to last evening of season, just to say had done it. It was cold. I had a heater body suit and hand warmers. I saw two fawns, but didn’t really want to shoot and gut a deer in that weather anyway. Kind of like many of this fall partridge and pheasant hunts. I quit carrying the gun and just worked with the dog. |

The Tactacam showed deer got on their feet last night as soon as the snow stopped. Most action I’ve had on my cam in a while. I think the deer were migrating for the winter.

I quit carrying the gun and just worked with the dog. After being outside this morning, I may hang it up for the year as well. I had that same thought about field dressing a deer in that weather. I may just try to get my last day or two of cutting done and head back home. |
