From his tree stand, Cody could make out a few little pockets of snow leftover from the last storm, but mostly it was just a blend of grey and brown around him.
He shifted to relieve the cramping in his legs.
In the distance, Cody heard the sound of crunching leaves. Reflex brought his rifle to the ready in an instant and he scanned the woods through the sight.
