Wind chills tomorrow will be 0-5 Fahrenheit. I'll be out at first light, in the Heater Body Suit. Planning to sit for 6-7 hours. Will do a live hunt, but with limited entries since I have to take gloves off to type on phone.
Who else is joining me in the insanity??

I will be out. With temps like this, yup we are a little touched, but they gotta move. Feeding the engine is what drives deer when the temps drop...

I'll be out. Love the cold weather to get the deer up and moving. If you have a food source, you'll have some deer.

Was out and cut some tracks, coyote is following one of the deer. Seen alot of fox tracks also. Wasn't to bad especially on the East side with the sun. Quite a difference on the West side with the wind!

I'll be out. Snow on the ground helps us colorblind guys track.

It's 11 degrees and breezy.
It feels pretty good sitting here in front of the propane fireplace reading Bowsite. There's longbow killed wild hog vegetable soup cooking on the stove. Ahhhhhh.
Yeah, I'm a wuss.

Another wuss here. I got up this morning and turned the news on,7 degrees! I took the "extra sleep" option. But I DID get outside after noon,when the temps hit double digits,and cut and split a truckload of firewood. Bob

The last deer I shot in Montgomery County was about 15 years ago in a foot of snow on a January day when it was 9 degrees out. I was bundled up and could hardly pull my bow back. Made a quick kill pretty early that morning and Bigdaddy (Wayne S.) dragged my deer back up the hill for me.

5D was a dud Saturday. A cold bitter winter day with some snow. Usually money but it was not happening. Plenty of pics still all over, but rarely some during the day. 3 Saturdays left... Can't kill them from the couch.

Sunday, 1/8/2017. Time - 10:30 a.m. Ground blind in lower right corner. Deer 20 yards away. If I was in DE or NJ, I would be preparing for a shot. But see, I'm In PA, and it's Sunday, so I can only take pictures because of stupid no Sunday hunting laws.

Some day, before I am to old to enjoy it. Pa will evolve into a forward thinking state to allow us who want to hunt on Sundays to do so.

Tuesday, 1/10/2017. Time - 2:17 p.m. I receive a call at work from Gene King. In a round about way he's asking me if he can hunt at my house. I told him he'd be crazy not to go over to the house. I say that he should get in the ground blind...yes, the one in the above picture. I tell him to call me back & let me know what he's going to do, 2:45 p.m., Gene calls, he's at the house. Said he was standing in the drive looking at one of my ladderstands at the edge of the woods, six or seven doe stood up by the stand. He doesn't even have his bow uncased, LOL. I told him what the deer will do when he goes back there...& I told him when they should start returning. I'm hoping my pal kills something, he probably will. The neighbors would be happy.

You let Gene hunt at your house? Well one thing is for sure... The booze at work is not watered down... Just kidding, Gene is a good guy and a heck of a shot. You want some one to kill a bunch, he is your guy.
