Troy - what are your current daytime highs running right now? I guess I'm asking whether your snow cover is staying or receding?

I took a page out of your book and spent the bulk of my hunt on Saturday on the south faces, and that was where the bulk of the activity was at. We've got just a few inches of snow cover, and it's totally burned off in spots. But, we have another big storm coming in tonight. That heavy covery should keep the other guys in the house, and maybe by President's day, we might be ripe for a good day.

After the bar exam, I'm hitting the shed grounds hard. Major cabin fever.

Ryan, you're asking for major trouble with the traditional bow. I'm warning you. If you get it, you'll be outside flinging arrows like Braveheart all day, and Loretta will have your hide. I have an old Bear recurve, but it's too light - probably a beginner bow. Loads of fun to shoot, but I've lost all my good arrows for it. Need to dig up some more lincoln logs for it. Getting good with it is a huge time commitment, but I know you'd have a blast with it. Troy - I'm surprised that's something that you've never screwed around with yet.
