How do these deer in North Alabama move when we get some snow on the ground?

Snow up north in North America is one thing. Snow in Alabama is another.

Snow in Alabama scares them and makes them take cover from my experience. I used to think it would be easy to hunt them in the snow. NOT!!!

You can learn more in a day when snow is on the ground than you can in a whole year of scouting.

I usually don't get to hunt, when it snows, I get to WORK instead.

But, I have had a couple of opportunities, to hunt with a light dusting of snow, over the years, and I agree the deer in Bama don't understand it.
It is not a good time for still hunting.
It's a great time for stalk hunting.
You can kick 'em up, track 'em and see 'em forever.
Plus you'll gain more scouting knowledge, in one day, than you can get in an average year.

They do whatever all other deer do in the snow, eat , walk, run, etc., I have taken several in the snow, it makes tracking a lot easier.
