The only downfall I've noticed to early winter snows is it is nearly impossible to be quiet in the woods, so closing the gap is a B$%%^!
yeah, or if the snow starts to melt and then refreezes then your screwed for stalking. CRUNCH!! CRUNCH!! CRUNCH!!
That's why I am up in my treestand at least an hour before daylight, to let things quiet and calm down. In the evening I get in it around 1:00 and stay there until I can't see my feet. Trying to sneak up on anything in crunchy snow with a bow is a baaaaad idea.
