I tried getting out in the field where it's the 7 inches of snow we got and didn't make it far enough off the road where the plow and drifting happened got snow stuck like truck frame is sitting on top of the snow. I'm 15 to 20 yrds off the road. No plows are out as it turned to complete shit at dark so I'll be waiting till tomorrow.
Gotcha, not a terrible situation, just shitty. Lol

An hour and a half of digging this morning. I don't think there is anywhere I could have parked around this mile without the same outcome. bright side I can park here now unless it drifts shut.

@Jamie - that’s an almost perfect evening in the woods. Would have only been better if you’d fired off a shot but missed. No need to be bothered with a carcass. 😁
Oh, I was tempted. If my freezer were not stuffed to it's capacity already there would have been some wood in the air last night. being that close to deer without them noticing you is special no matter how many times it happens if you hunt them up close and personal. sometimes it's more pleasing to not try and kill them.

That hunt was worth it!
I agree. I had 14 deer From 35-50 yrds in the hardest part of the season to do so especially in these see through areas. Had a plan from watching these deer where they had been bedding since the north winds have been blowing for a week and a half and they switched up their pattern with the southeast blow. So successful in my mind. I Still have one or two sits left I think. Got another herd I've been watching I might try for or try these deer again. They r still in this mile.

Nothing can wear you out faster than having to dig your truck out of snow like that. Got 'off the road' a couple times in the UP and damn what a chore.
Everywhere I started digging last night froze decent. I had a spud bar in the truck I had to use to break it up before shoveling. I'm whooped.

Went and got permission for a super mega huge enormous probably makes top ten in woods size for my county. It might stretch 500yrds x 225 on one end 275-325 on the other. Mammoth lot! Get lost in it. Haha there's 20-30 deer in it. 5 bucks I've seen bedding seperate from does. I'll end up spooking some for sure but at least some are there. Icy on the cake four bucks holding both sides one pretty one. Just going to sit as long as possible.
