It's -35 here this morning Jason and that's just too darn cold for me to be able to sit in stand for any period of time , tommorrow it's supposed to get up to 0 so I'm sure I'll get up and give it a go .I certainly don't want to be wasting day's if I can help it .Good luck guy's and let's tag another for the team.

Who want's to go hunting with me today ? We've gotten another foot of snow over night and the forecast is for another 40cm + today .This make's for almost 3 feet of snow on the ground now.I don't think there will be a whole lot moving ,but if I can get into the creek bed anything might happen ,,I don't know how I'll get the deer out if i get one ,so I will need help .This is going to make it real tough hunting for the rest of the season just getting in and out will make it tough.
Anyone want to come ?

Nubo, I think I will pass, but it might be the best time to get a big one if you can stand the cold yourself. But the work will really begin if you do get the big one. Not having much luck here, all I have been seeing are small bucks spikes and four points which are not legal at the management area unless they have a 12 inch spread. But I am beginning to find more sign now so it won't be long before the chase is on. My the the wind be in your face and the buck of your dreams be at your will.

Hey guys...sorry I haven't been around much the last few weeks. I've been so busy with my new job and such. I haven't been able to add any inches for our team yet. In fact during the few times I have been able to make it out I haven't even seen a buck. They seem to disappear around here completely once Thanksgiving passes. I did take a doe last weekend, so I got some more meat which I needed. I have a little time left...hopefully I'll make it out a couple more times, and might be able to connect with some horns.

Nubo...keep at it bud, you're due!

Good luck guys! I hope everyone has a great Christmas! God Bless!!
