Woke up today to big time cold and some snow on the ground from a small storm that passed thru.
The wind was swirling and howling with temps not getting to 20 degrees. With these conditions I decided it would be a good day for some still-hunting which I don't do very much.
Saw a couple of small bucks on a ridge across a creek bottom but they saw me at the same time.
Went further back into the tract than I usually do and found very promising spot for next year. Its way back in there but that's probably why it will be a good spot.
All in all it was a good day in the woods and thought I'd post a few pics.

One of a few rubs I ran across
Sat here for a little bit against a big oak taking a break and checking the area out with my binos
Had a really good day with my shootin' even being all bundled up

We finally got some snow here in IA, but of course it's two days after the bow season closed.

Looks like fun. I miss that kinda stuff growing up in Illinois. Now I live in the city. One day soon I'll be back there.

Good looking area. Love being on a ridge and looking across an area. Snow would have really helped spot deer moving. Thanks for sharing.

Love hunting or just being out when it snows. Something peaceful about it to me.
