cattails after snow
Planning the rest of my season, and we're getting some pretty good snow in western NY. Do you guys still find bucks in the cattails after snow pounds them down some, or do they move on?

Re: cattails after snow
Just saw on the news you guys might be getting as much as 5 feet of snow
A few inches don't seem to keep them out, but a couple feet will... The deeper the snow, the less that will be in there...

5' dam? Good luck, that will shut down everything for some time.

I have a buddy in South Cheektowaga, a suburb of Buffalo. They got 65" Monday into Tuesday...
I was complaining about the 12" we got late last week!

Re: cattails after snow
Holy S$%#!!! thats a lot of snow. I had no idea New York gets that much, or is it freak weather?
I agree with Dan, my swamps become less and less used as we get closer to New Years Day. I always assumed food was gone and not god thermal cover, but its probably the snow too.

Re: cattails after snow
Yeah, this is extreme, and localized. Lake snow can be intense in 1 area, and a couple miles away they get nothing. The local news always tracks the race between Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse to see who 'wins.' On a good year all three will be over 100" for the season. I think Syracuse leads the entire nation for average yearly snowfall.

Houghton Michigan has gotten 300" of snow during winters before...

I think you meant 400+ inches........not feet!
