Quote History Quoted:
I hunted several times, but no deer. They have been really hitting my turnip patches, but must be pretty nocturnal. I did see a bobcat though, so that was pretty cool.

The full moon at nights really killed the "its cold so they should be up moving" hopes. The few times we saw them during the week were mostly right at 4:45. One group ran in and stood behind a car sized section of brush for 45mins until dark.
What's funny is dad and I had the same scenario for our deer on separate days. The deer came across an open corn field into standing corn so quickly that we couldn't get a shot. Then a coyote scared them out and they stopped at the edge of the timber.
I enjoyed being out so much that after I'd filled my tags, I went and got another tag just to get out and call coyotes. No coyotes but hunting in the snow was fun.
