Hey guys, i've been out gun hunting this past week, no success but have seen about 10 deer, i'm begining to think that i might have to fill one more tag with the bow. my question is how many of you hunt until dec 31 and does your strategy stay the same? I've been going out too early in the afternoon and getting cold going in around 3-4pm, wich is prime hunting time? Just wondering how you hunt in the cold weather. Thanks.

We go out as long as we can, the problem is really dealing with the wind. The deer will be there but the nice thing is they like to stay out of the wind as well. If there is a lot of snow pile it up and make a little blind, keeps the wind down and keeps your movement covered. I know it gets cold out there, sometimes it is better to move around a lot about 30 minutes before the good deer time, like walk on the spot or something to get you warm again, than to be fidgity when a deer is coming out to you.
Good luck and keep warm

Good idea. Yesterday i was out in a stand around the stratford On. area, man was it cold, i was out at about 1 and stayed till about 330pm, but it did get out of the stand to take a walk and warm up, it seemed to work good. I'm going out for my last shot gun hunt this afternoon. i can't go out tomorrow, and it sounds like it's going to be a nice day tomorrow

.
Thanks for the info guys.

Sounds like you need a pop-up and a propane heater.

oh really, sounds like it was a pretty good day then, i probably heard your shots, i was hunting around sebringville it's just west of stratford on hwy. 8. didn't see anything though??? I'm going to wait a few days after gun season is done then start with the bow again, try and fill my tag.
