Don't fergit's to keep an eye out fer frozen turkeys to thaw out

I was watching for turkeys the entire trip. None seen but they were there somewhere.

We spent our share of time in the truck but the time out was bad, especially if we couldn't get out of the wind. The coldest we saw while hunting was -27 but that was from the truck. The worst was when we hiked out in single digits with 20 to 30 mph winds. That's not stuff I'd normally do but we ha...

I worked with this buddy in the mountains of Colorado so he's been in cold temps but he's been living in a much warmer climate and his outdoor adventures are mostly fishing in Mexico.

A buddy and his son flew in in last Saturday to the coldest day we've had this winter, -39, for a late season cow elk hunt. We hunted Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Monday was brutal cold, Tuesday was cold with brutal wind, then Wednesday morning was cold, snowing and windy. We found a couple big h...

I've watched some of those but can't recall if I watched Season 3. The shows I watched were pretty good

My truck has been a tough start but it goes. Boyds car wouldn't start yesterday but did today. We couldn't get Isaac's started yesterday or today.

-39 yesterday morning, -19 this morning. -8 when we pulled into a little MT town this afternoon. Hunting cow elk the next few days. It'll be -30 in the morning so not sure if the truck will start or we'll get out of it if it does.

We got dumped on yesterday. 12-14” of snow. Our power has been out for 17 hrs. and they estimate that it will be restored at 11 tonight. 22° right now headed to -10 tonight. It’s 56° in the house and heading south. I really hate this crap. Hopefully you get up and running soon. Any gas heat, Buddy ...

We've only got 2 or 3" of snow but it'll be -30 tonight with a wind chill below that.

We have friends at church that do the same.

IMG_20240112_065744212.jpg I don't think it's getting above this today then -30 tonight. I can see spending January - March in Arizona or Florida when I retire. Arizona has Mule Deer and Coues rutting in January and desert quail into February. Florida turkey hunting in March then migrate back to Mo...

Hopefully the cold hits and warms up quick I have ammo to load for a few more stores then for nwtf convention This is good weather to stay in loading ammo. Maybe I should put my buddy and son to work cleaning my basement and prepping my loading area for me. Then they will want more ammo? They've no...

Zero this morning and -6 when I left work. Its -12 now.

Snow blowing sideways on my way home.

So far here in western New York winter hasn’t been around yet. Supposed to get cold next week teen temperatures with snow but her for mid January what can you ask for We've had a really mild winter except for one storm back in late October. We need the snow but I'd be good with warmer temps. Howeve...

We got 4” of WET HEAVY snow on Wednesday. 3” of lighter snow today. 6-10” more expected on Friday-Saturday. Then the cold sets in. For all of next week. -10° for the mornings most of next week with highs in the low single digits. I’m in Wisconsin. I think we'll be back into the 20s by Tuesday. I've...

I've already seen my first blooming wild flower of the year, a dandelion on New Year's Day. We had 4.8 inches of rain on Tuesday which is setting things up for a great spring. What would 4.8 inches of rain produce in snow in your area? NOAA says 1" rain is equivalent to 13" of snow on ave...

In your dreams.

Glad I haven't picked up the ati yet. Now I need to just wait around for them. I'll be picking one up when I can find one. Thanks Hoobilly this really made my day. Welcome! I wonder if they would come drill a d tapped or if you would need a meadow creek mount? I think they aren’t drilled n tapped. ...

Looks cool but an over and under just doesn't strike me as a turkey gun. My opinion, and maybe not a popular one, Mossberg is stretching their price point out past their value. Maybe if I was more familiar with what other manufacturers are setting their prices at I would reconsider. I used to consid...

Good looking buck.

Finally got around to finishing up the 2023 mule deer for Boyd and my buddy Jeff. Also whitened Isaac's from 2022 a little. Had the peroxide cream on Boyd's one full day and the other two a couple of days. Peroxide cream brushed on and wrapped in plastic. IMG_20240104_113045085.jpg Afterwards: IMG_2...
