Wont be hunting today.
 
Well we got about a foot of snow in the last 48 hrs, but -17 air temp with -43 wind chill right now. The sad part is this is a 2 day high. Cold weather bites!

I agree TeeJay, even if I did have a tag left, there is just no way that I could brave this cold.[&:]

The coldest I have ever hunted was 10 below. I dont know if I have enough clothes to hunt -43, but I'd like to try it:D. Even if it is only for a half hour.[8D]

It's 19 degrees here with a wind chill of 3. I believe that is the coldest day we have had all year.

I'm heading out in about an hour:)

I have the same weather here. -45 with the windchill. And I was out fishing in it yesterday. I was abhle to move around and I still only lasted 2hrs. When weather hits like this its best not to sit facing the wind

SISSIES!!!! I think the coldest I ever hunted in was -20, with a medium breeze, but believe it or not, I really didn't end up getting that cold. I was on the move, sneaking through some woods with a lot of pines in them, and actually got a couple shot opportunites. Deer don't move very fast when it's that cold either!!!! [&:]

I would usualy say that I have no idea what snow is like. Living in LA I have seen it 3 times in my life, and once it was while on a hunt in Texas.

We got some snow last week. 8 inches, look out!
Haha.

It's -14 below as I speak right now. Suppose to hit -20 tonight. I won't be going hunting tomorrow morning but tomorrow evening I'll be hitting a new stand that I put up this afternoon. I'm really excited about It!!

Your a better man than me. Like I said I went fishing the other day and lasted 2 hrs. I was free to move around. If I sat in a tree, I don't think I would last more thqn 20min.
It might ound girly but heck when I was fishin I didn't want anymore fish to hit. Everytime they hit I had to re-bait and almost had frost bite every time. DAMN cold
This is the coldest december I can remember. Early november was nice. This, all i want to do is sit inside. Now I wish I had an ice fishing shack

I understand exactly what your saying about baiting the hook when It's cold. That sucks on the fingers!!

Actually it didn't get as cold as they were predicting. Only 17 below... not that it mattered as the deer were already heading through the spot right before I could get there. No chance for a stalk as the wind was marginal so Ibacked out without spooking them. Iwent on a long rangescouting mission instead so I will be ready for Troy when he gets here.

Saw 3 good buck and one really nice buck.Of coursethe really nice buck hangs out in an area with no cover and pops across the road on posted land I don't have permission for at the first sign of trouble. Sneaky devil!! [:'(] I"ll put Troy on him when he gets here. [8D] I have a double drop to go after !! :D :D

Dammit anyway!! I had to take a "snow check" on hunting this evening.:D Damn wind direction decided It had to come out of the E SE on me Instead of the regular N NW wind I've been getting. SOB I was looking forward to hunting this particular spot this evening!![:@]

On a side note, good luck to you and Troy there Tim!!!
