Well both! If you know where deer go when the weather is bad heavy snow is a good time to try and sneak up on one, the only weather better to chase them in is heavy fog, both take much of their sensory advantages away. If the snow is not very heavy they might lay up at first but will then go back to their routine though they will still stay in heavier cover.
If it is a good storm they will hold up till it ends and when it ends they will head out for chow as soon as it lets up. Randy

 

keep up i like to know this to

 

I shot this and many other bucks during storms,If I can get out of the wind and have a close shot,I like to hunt during snow or storms.This was the 2nd day of the storm and both days the action in the trees was fast and furious,JMO/buckslayr

 

I love hunting both. The only weather I don't hunt is rain and thats not because I won't see them, its too hard to follow blood in the rain.

 

They usually bed up near the food source and sometimes right beside it during a major snowstorm. If you could slip in near them or between them and their food you could have a good chance. I like before or after, but not during the storm myself. Others do just fine as shown. SRM

 

I hunt them no matter what! We got 6 inches of fresh stuff last night into this morning and they were all over the place, tracks everywhere. I passed on a nubbin and never had anything else close enough to shoot!!

 

when YOU are snow covered it's better camo.....get out there !!

 

We had steady snow falling this morning and the group of does I saw were acting just like kids do in the first good snow of the year. They were running back and forth and appeared to be enjoying themselves. They were aways out and running back and forth but it appeared to be both adults and weanlings.

 

Any tips on home-made snow camo? Or is just wearing white good enough? DO you need snow camo if you are in a tree stand?

 

No you don't.

 

hunt both
