SNOW BUCK WITH MY TALLTINES!!!!
« on: November 08, 2012, 07:38:00 AM »
I just had one of the best hunts I have ever had. My wife had a half day of school and let me out to play in the snow for a few hours. The woods were covered in a blanket of fresh snow and it was still coming down. About a hour into the hunt it started coming down harder. This good sized Doe came out about 50 yards away from me. I grabbed my bow off the hook and stood there waiting for the shot. When I could see she was coming my way I got ready and looked down at the bow. I had to brush off the snow from the feathers and the rest to take the shot. She ran about 35 yards and I watched her drop. Just an awesome hunt in the snow. Never have I been hunting in snow like this. And to top it off in November.

Funny thing I never knew it was a buck until I walked up to it. All that snow and the low hanging tree limbs  covered his head I never noticed the antlers, Nice surprise!!

Gary,
  Well done! I love hunting in the snow - seems the deer like to move then. Good luck with the rest of the season.
