only if they get hungry

You bet, I have seen plenty of deer on super windy days. Find the thick stuff. This time of year it is hard to beat a nice tamarac swamp. Plenty of cover, plenty of food, Water. Pretty comfy in there. They won't move very far but they will mill around more than a person thinks.

I wont move out of the house in this weather

It maybe isn't ideal, but with these overnight temps they have to move some anyway unless they just loaded up then they can try to conserve as much as they can, get way off the road near bedding areas and hope for that milling around browsing kind of deer that is sheltered from direct wind, it would be a pretty chilly sit either way if you venture out.

I'll be in SE MN muzzleloading the next 3 days, wondering myself where i'll find these deer. Need a buck or 2 does. I suppose it might be best to find the really thick stuff and slowly walk through it, or best to sit next to it?

Right on T W like many have said you wont get anything on the couch or behing the computer. I plan on getting out with my bow this weekend even if its only for a hour or two a day.

Would you?

Deer dont like it either. They will hunker down. Think thick. Think wind blocks. Find the deer.

THey will not likely be finding you......

[CodyDawg]

Oh, yeah man! For sure! I would go find a fenceline in between some big fields and camp out there. Dont leave, the deer will come. Really!

Just kidding of course. Natural movement will be extremely limited. If'n you are married, make some brownie points and stay home...you will need them when the wind goes down.

LOL Codydog!! thats what Ive been doing all day. Now its just tough deciding what to do Ice fish or hunt?

Brother in law shot an 8 pointer this evening, and saw numerous other deer coming out to the fields...

Deer will move when it this cold, they have to eat to survive, plain and simple.

I have hunted with a buddy everyday since last Fri and have only seen one deer up until tonight. I seen 3 does and he seen 7 and he dropped one at noon today. Had to go right into the bedding area to do it.. walk n stalk.

[TruthWalleyes]

No wife or brownie points here! I'll be out this afternoon, and the next 3 days...plan on staying out in the weather until my tags are full. Walk n Stalk sounds appropriate.

If they are moving later in the mornings and earlier in the evenings, would it be wise to walk n stalk early and late? Sit late morning to early afternoon?

Where i'm going there's a bunch of places with ZERO wind, even with high winds. I'm hoping to find them hurd'd up, sleep'n!

[Realtor Boy]

Im heading out as well, I will be sitting in the ealry AM's and sitting in the late PM's. I will be doing a walk and stalk in between those times. The one we shot yesterday was at 11am walking around...
