Lets see. Friday snow was packed solid and encrusted with ice so you couldn't walk on it.Almost went on my a**a few times.Saturday it poured rain and melted most of the snow on the south slopes. Monday was gorgeous. Was out from before light till dark, saw one deer. Way too far for a shot with the FL. It was a big deer but not sure if it was a buck or doe anyway. (Can't shoot a buck - already tagged one). Tuesday nice but howling wind - no deer moving. Today blowing snow. 20 mph winds with gusts to 40 mph. But I tried going out. Also trying to fight off a bug. I lasted about an hour, got a teriffic headache and spewed my morning's oatmeal on the new fallen snow. That sucks. Going to rest the rest of the day and try again tomorrow. Wind is suppose to die down and the sun coming out.
this wind is something else.[:@]
some said they never saw wind like this for weeks in pa ever.
i got one of those portable hunting tents for christmas.
i cant sit tree with this weather,brrrrrrrr.
its called the OUTHOUSE.
you throw it and it sets up in 5 seconds,has windows and door.
it folds up into a backpack to carry,unreal.
i saw guy using it this year,he had heater from wal-mart in it.he was real warm too and said he had a few deer walk right by him.
i like using alcohal and toilet peper in can for heat, no smell to that.
these cost around 45 dollars.
dont know how they will hold up to wind, i bet not so good but its ticket if you want to stay out all day in cold weather.
what a neat thing, it is something to see,in CAMO TOO.
