I took Staci to T3 and showed her where Dad had shot his doe. The trick was getting there without getting hurt. There was enough crust on the snow to be able to walk on it in the morning. We debated bringing our snowshoes, but ruled that we could handle the crust with the occasional inch break through. The amount of deer tracks right from the start were nice to see. They had been checking the old apple trees and following a lot of the same trails that they had been taking during hunting season. We started off at the Sky Condo, then traveled through the woods to T3. There were a handful of deer beds close, which is not typical for them at this point in the winter. It looked like the herd was staying closer to the Sky Condo then they typically did....
