Mature Buck Tendencies During Winter Storms

Unread postby The Silence » Tue Dec 11, 2018 4:03 pm

Just preparing for my late season archery tactics and I'm thinking about the severe weather areas I know of in farmland country. A couple questions:

(1) Do older bucks tend to hole up with the majority of other deer when a winter storm blows in?

(2) Before the storm: Do the big boys tend to head into these "storm safe" areas ahead of time even if it requires them to move in daylight?

(3) After the storm subsides: Do the mature animals clear out of these special areas soon after the weather clears up for food or will they stay hunkered down until dark or close to dark?

Just trying to take advantage of one scenario where circumstances may have them up and moving during shooting light. Or any other thoughts you may have concerning hunting these types of severe weather refuges
would be really interesting.
