Hunting in snow?

What have u had success with? Pines, cutover, hardwoods early morning or mid day?

None in south Alabama. Deer freak out and don’t move where I hunt..

Killed my biggest buck in the snow. Actually the day after it snowed, but snow on the ground and sunny

Hardwoods, Ridge tops, mornings. Killed a doe on 5 DEC 2009 when it snowed a good bit. It was the first deer I took off that particular property and that evening the Tide rolled and made Tebow cry. It was a good day!

Killed a few in it and it's fun. Heavy stuff seams to shut them down a little but what's in store tomorrow should be great.

Wife shot a 10 point out of a green field
On a full moon January evening with 5 inches
On the ground .

Go hunting tomorrow i have killed a few in the snow

jb20 the last two times it snowed during deer season, I slept till 7:00, got up, went to the shooting house, and had a good buck dead soon after. It is my experience, around here they ain't gonna move much early, but about 8:00 or so, after the sun gets up good and it gets quiet, they'll get about a little bit.

movement varies wildly, everything to total shutdown to everydamndeermoves, and everything in between those two extremes. I like hunting em in the snow, have killed a couple in it.

January 21st 2008, snow stopped around midday in Sumter county. Around 3:00 shot a 7pt that was cruising thru a green field. Want never forget, same day bronner Burgess drowned and was all over the news.

It’s not gonna snow

I’ve killed a bunch in the snow but never in bama lol

This. I had the same thing happen. Killed a big 9 point in the snow in Crenshaw county several years ago. Day after snow storm bright sunny morning peak rut in a food plot.

Come on man, ya taking the fun out of it.

I love hunting in it, especially being there when it first starts and watching the world turn white. It has seemed to be either feast or famine, like Fred said, as for deer movement in the snow. If I have a chance I'll hunt it.

I didn't hunt last year when it snowed in January but when I checked my camera, I wish I had. 10:32-doe walks in front of my tree stand, 10:34--nice buck follows. Not sure I would have hunted that particular stand that day but had zero chance of killing him from my house.

Track them sumbeeches like a Benoit.

Hoping they move once it warms up. I will b there Thursday am!!!

Never had any luck in the snow. They stayed bedded up

Agreed. What a cluster and over erreaction again. All schools are cancelled cause of rain? It's been raining all year

ive had good luck in snow especialy in evening on food

I like clear cuts in the snow I killed a 135 8 point last year in a clearcut with snow on the ground at first light

I believe the deer just lay up and don’t move when it snows here.

I like hunting in the snow because everything sticks out like a sore thumb.

Hunting and Watching trail cams it seems like the day after a snow results in crazy movement where I see some bruiser bucks that I have never seen before and never saw again. Its almost like they like getting around and seeing all the pretty county.

I killed two near York last year. First one was late afternoon, 190 lb old 5 came onto a green field at about 4:30 when it was snowing like crazy.

Next afternoon, right at dark, big 7 came out on another green field.

Cheap snow suit get a paint suit from the paint store or box store to put on over your hunting clothes.

Killed a nice one the day after as well.

Don't forget your chains today fellas, its nasty out there

How’s that hunting in the snow going this Am?

Just light rain here, I'm fixing to climb up in my ladder, and if that nosey doe shows up again I'm gonna bust her azz😡 She ruined my hunt yesterday morning....

This is the correct answer!!!

Hope to see some pics of a successful hunt James!
Be safe!

Woke up to rain went back to bed lol

I'm here, stayed up late, slept late, got here late. Probably missed my deer.

never killed a deer in the snow

I went one time in the snow. Dang near killed myself getting to the club and had to winch myself out of a ditch two times that morning. Finally got to the club and slogged through that mess to a stand and killed an 8 point. Had to drag it up the hill to the truck and was a wet muddy mess by the time I did. The hell with that....... it wasn't worth it.


I killed a turkey in Nebraska in the snow a few years ago. As much as I like to end turkeys, I have no desire to do that ever again either.

Deer move in the snow and the interesting thing is, you think they will be quiet. To the contrary I’ve found they hop in 3” snow like it was butt deep or something making p,enty of noise.

Biggest deer I have ever seen was in the snow.

Biggest buck I've ever killed in bama, was during the snow storm in 2014. Killed him at 11:15am
