Florida snow hunting

[Andrewlonghi]

Well with the snow coming I decided to take couple days off work and head to NW Florida. Driving up I-10 was a little stressful with traffic getting backed up and serval wrecks happening on the way up.

16 degrees the first morning I hunted and felt like a kid walking threw the snow. Seen plenty of deer and sign just not anything big enough to shoot but definitely will be a good memory. I cut a few fresh sets of tracks and followed them for a while with no luck. Walking in the snow was definitely noisy so the deer probably heard me coming from a mile away.

Those snow hunts are something we lower Southern boys don't experience very often, but when they do, it is memorable.

I remember turkey hunting on April 4th and it snowing on me. I can't remember the year, only the date sticks out, turkeys didn't gobble that morning, I remember that. I do remember a whole flock of hens coming up on me, like it was winter for them.

Maybe next time, consider using like crampons or snowshoes to help reduce noise and increase stealth while tracking those deer in the snow.
