I have been hunting since October. Passed on several nice animals early hunting for the big boys. Have seen several 160 plus deer, but they have all disappeared in this cold weather. I have hunted 5 days since the opener and have seen very little. Thinking about moving my stands to the edges of some thickets where they are browsing now. Have not seen much activity in the grain fields. I am either on the wrong fields, or the snow is too deep. I am continuing to brave the cold, but wish I had a muzzleloader tag instead of the bow tag i have. My wife did well opening day ( December 18) and took a 150 class 12 pointer. I like to think about how happy i am for her while I am freezing up in my treestands. I am going to stick it out, besides, how much colder can it get. I wish everyone else out there braving the elements the best of luck.
