Hey Trekker sounds like you had a great time. I tell ya, that hard crunchy snow your best bet is to stand or sit in a blind if you can stand the cold. You can hear them coming before you see them and not them hear you before they pick up a scent... :wink:
But then again I almost walked right into a herd of doe one day after I was crunching on snow for over an hour... Never heard me coming.
