Speaking of cold snowy weather....

My muzzleloader season was a complete disaster. We made it out to the one mile two track that leads to our camp and got stuck about 500-600 yards down the trail at around 1am. I spent the night digging till about 6am in 17 degree weather. There was about 20 in of snow on the ground and we never should have gone down that trail but we did because it was hunting season. We called some tow companies but they wanted between $500 and $1000 to come get us out.

Luckily a friend of ours that is local came to get us in the morning. After sleeping in the truck for about two hours I had to go back to digging again. The truck that came to get us got stuck a few times so we had to dig it out too. We ended up out of the woods around 1pm the next day.

Never even made it to camp and never got the smoke pole out of the case. Did I mention that I had the flu through all this. Still have the flu.

It wasn't a good time.
