Sunny side of the mountian?

[Jeff Roark]

Has anyone had much luck hunting the sunny side of a mountain when its really cold? Its got cold as heck here in Kentucky and there hasn't been alot of deer movement from what I can tell. Weather permitting I'm going to hit the oak ridges and maybe the sunny sides of the hills for the remainder of the season.

How do you guys hunt the sunny sides?

It works here in Wyoming. When it snows the deer will go to the south facing sloes as they get more sun and the food is more readily avalible.

Jeff:

When the weather gets bad (for me that can be a limitation) and I do go...  its the south facing areas.  I have stands set up and do on occasion still hunt.  As long as I go slow, which you would want to do any way, and can stay warm...  its good.  I almost always see and have opportunities at deer.

They will lay on a south slope and lay facing away from the wind... be carful of that one...
