I could have where I killed him. This was just in the bottom about 50 yards from the truck. I killed him about 800 feet higher elevation. The snow had accumulated on my clothes and boots so I had good natural camo lol. That was the prettiest sight seeing him come over the ridge in full strut with hen in tow and snow blowing sideways. He gobbled 2 times in an hour and a half

No I call that a dusting. Where I killed him I call snow  ;D. Looks like I got to head back in the morning. I lost my striker I've been carrying for the past 16 years  :help:

Nice. The snow in the back ground (dusting or not) makes for a unique and cool pic.

That's cool Nathan. I got your text. They were out today, but still not gobbling. About an inch or two up on the mountain and I got to see one in a full strut with a hen in the snow. I hope you find your striker!
