A deer has to eat every 4 hours, their ungulates. Whether you see them or not thats another question. a simple horsechitt will do here.... When eating low fiber foods, yes about every 4 hours. Longer when eating foods that digest more slowly.

I hunted in 10" of snow back on in October. Hunting in snow is awesome, especially, at 9500'.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Ive tried a few times and only had luck when I was in the woods as it started to fall or the day it starts to melt off. The day/days in between I had to walk deer up to see much.
Its not the will to win but the will to prepare to win!

I've tried it twice and our deer absolutely hunker down. No movement at all. I think I'll sit this one out until Sat. or Sun. and stay home and eat my bread and drink my milk.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Been my experience while it's snowing and about the first 4 hours after it stops they are wide open, rock and roll, then tend to lock down near a food source. If it's a "quiet" snow I like to put on a white cotton sweat suit and go slipping.

Ain't nothing finer than quiet woods with snow falling and the ground is white. Some deer move, some don't.

Only time I've hunted in any significant snow was about 25 years ago in Hale County. Snowed overnight and left about 3 inches on the ground. Every set of tracks I saw was heading into the thicket briar choked cutover. No movement during the day. They may have moved good while it was snowing overnight but they were locked down by the time the snow stopped. I think most deer in Alabama may live their entire lives without ever seeing snow and when it does occur they are scared and go to cover. JMHO.
