Got home from the funeral of a friend today and decided to go walk around the areas of our farm that I hunt with my bow. I gleaned some useful information from this walk.
1. You can't walk silently in the snow! It crunches under your feet.
2. Deer are crossing a corner of our property that I gave up on previously because I got no trail cam pictures for a week.
3. Several deer are bedding in a clear cut next to the pasture.
4. One or two are bedding in a thicket behind a neighbors house.
5. They moved this morning and again this afternoon. Lots more movement than I would have thought. Four or five crossed the corner I mentioned above.
6. I need to hang a stand!
7. Every limb you move is gonna dump snow down the back of your neck!
8. The woods are beautiful under 6" of snow.
9. Walking in 6" of snow will wear you out.
10. Snow will wet your feathers just like rain.
I knew better than to try and track one down from past experience. I tried this in Greene County 40 years ago and got so lost I almost never found my way out of the woods. Never caught up to the deer either!
I would post some pictures but the batteries in my camera were dead. Maybe tomorrow, just for my south Georgia friends.
