SNOWWWW!!!!

Post by Mainehunter »

Since last Tuesday, two storms and a hair over 2' of snow! The old record was shattered which was 4" and that was three years ago. I made the mistake not bringing my snow shoes. 100 yards into the woods, off the dirt road I was waist high in snow! I couldn't even get to my tree stand! I was bummed!!! :cry:


I don't mind snow but this is way too much for this time of the year. For the past 7 or 8 years the deer population have been rebounding around my area but I have a bad feeling they may take another hit this year! :|

Back in '11/'12 ( if memory serves) we had 2 bad winters back to back, our herd took a big hit. It's still down . I would have 20-30 deer in the yard every day then I didnt see a deer for months. No fawns either. Now on occasion I see 6 or 8. Yes we were over populated!
Had a doe that I named scabby, she was hit by a car& covered with road trash. I kinda nursed her back and she became fairly tame, she was lost to winter kill too.

I probably said this earlier, but while I was hunting moose in BC late September we had a heavy snow, over a foot the last few days of our hunt.
We actually had to leave camp a day early just to be sure we could get out. That was really early even for Central BC. We drove almost 200
miles in it heading west and then south. Good thing we had moose in the back end to give us lots of weight.

Being from Texas and seeing 60 degrees today, what is all that white stuff all over? It appears to be a meteorological phenomenon caused by stratocumulus clouds releasing a vertical precipitation of moisture which is in a low energy state which is causing the molecules to attach in random patterns. However, that is merely a guess since we don't have the conditions here to cause such a strange condition.

A few folks that I've talked to over at Jimmy's Market in Bingham who have been here a lot longer never seen this before! I was pretty tired just for trucking through all that snow! :|

Not too far from us in Brighton. There is a line from Cook Hill in Moscow that runs across Kingsbury to Greenville that gets hammered with snow.
Don't know who you talked to, but I've seen it haha. :D
In 88 we were hunting with snowmobiles and I got stuck clear to the windshield on one occasion.
My dad remembers a season they shut down cause they got so much snow the deer yarded. :shock:
