Thread: Do you have much success with winter Deer hunting ? Or am I just doing it wrong ?

You will find deer in a different spot. They will forsake the frozen clearings and river flats. Generally they will be up the side of the hill above the cold air and hoping to catch some sun in the afternoon, without being so high they get in the colder air further up there. They are also not so dependant on good feed and dont get around for it like they do in Spring for example. You will have to scout around up the side of the ridge to find what level they are living at. THe good news is once you find their wintering area they will all be there; and will be there next year too.
AS someone said above, the major disadvantage to winter hunting is the long boring nights. It's dark at five down here and doesnt get light till eight.
