I personally love the snow while hunting the extended for a number of reasons.
1. I love being able to wear snow camo because I think it hides my outline better than at any other camo.
2. With fresh snow you are able to stalk much more quietly than without.
3. The deer are much more visible, even when they are bedded in the oak.
4. It is easier to see fresh track, and when an animal is hit, the blood trail is extremely visible.
5. There is just something about hunting in snow, I can't explain it.
Downsides
1. Without the proper clothing and equipment, it can be cold.
2. The possibility of equipment failure goes up (i.e. rest or release freezing up).
3. Hiking, particulary in deep snow, is more difficult.
All of these is a small price to pay.
So snow has my vote!
