Tired of snow that's for sure.  Counting down the days til I can chase the turkey birds.  Still kicking some ideas around trip wise to get an early start.

Ditto on the snow shoveling and the extreme temps.  Spotted some in their wintering areas.  Be safe all!

Winter sure isn't letting up!! I am getting into NEXT year's firewood supply, so now I have to start finding time to cut some wood. Would be nice to have that done by turkey season. Been working 6 days a week since mid-jan so that is going to be tough.


pssst...hey derek ol buddy!

No, it's not letting up. The next couple nights we'll be down into the high teens-low 20's. Looks like more snow and ice tomorrow night........

Low teens and twenties! I'd love to see that! We've had more single digits and below zero nights than I can ever remember. I'm beginning to think someone moved my house up to Canadatoms neck of the woods.

With the high winds we've had, it wouldn't surprise me!

We had -2 yesterday, looking for the mid 50's here today. Have to dig the flip-flops out.

Checked one of my cameras yesterday, have 12 longberads and about 20 hens, and 3 of the 12 were strutting. Also have a pic of a fox attempting to have turkey for lunch. He was about 15 feet from the birds as they were flying. Give me some time and I will post up the pic...
