PriceRacing35 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 We have a huge cold front which I'm sure most of you are aware of coming in. I live in SW missouri and the temps are supposed to start out around 65. Then drop all day to a low of 28. Then Thursday we have snow, sleet, and freezing rain expected all day long. With a low getting down to 6. Would it be best to hunt before this front. Or right as it starts snowing? It's not going to be a massive snowfall. Only maybe 3-5". I know I'll hunt either by the winter wheat, or by the some prairie grass that does flock to during late season. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Included is a layout of the property. (Crosshairs are stands, and the deer symbols are food sources) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PriceRacing35 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 should I hunt tomorrow? Well. I told the girlfriend I'm leaving early in the AM. I know the cold front isn't supposed to actually come through till sometime after noon. But I think the late morning hunt could be productive too. I may hunt Thursday as well. If I feel that the road conditions would be safe enough to make the hour and a half drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PriceRacing35 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Well. I'm back. Had to uninstall the app because nothing would load. Back on Tapatalk. But the hunt didn't exactly go so well. Got in the stand and only saw one small doe for the evening. And driving out I saw several tracks walk right by another stand that weren't there when I pulled in. And to make it worse. The roads had turned to solid ice. It was like a skating rink. Made it halfway home when I saw a truck in a ravine in the corner of my eye. So I slowed down to turn around( which took me almost a 1/4mile in the ice) and went back to help. It was a family of 4 with two Young daughters and a chocolate lab in the bed. They ran off the road. Down the steep embankment about 50 yards and hit a tree head on doing around 35. There were no serious injuries but I stayed and waited on the ambulance anyway. In 20 minutes time. There were 3 more wrecks in that little stretch of road. Non serious. But it was enough to make highway patrol make me leave for our safety. Made it home and checked the trail cameras. Had a really nice buck. That I got pictures of last year in December. He hasn't grown much at all. Still a nice buck though. Maybe 130" 9 pt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
