gotta figure being breeding season and all most doe won't even get off the nest for fear of her eggs freezing in this extreme cold.

oop,temp dropped 15degrees

ma nature is just pinning me down in the shop for a couple days so i'll finish getting things around and be ready for the great setting weather coming in a few days.she has given me snow so location is a no brainer and much will be learned from reading the story the animals leave for us to read.

Late afternoon sits are great for these sudden cold snaps.

im gonna go shovel the end of my driveway where it meets the highway

I finished digging this trench for a frost footer yesterday. Now I have to wait for the inspector to come and tell me that it it’s a trench and I can go ahead and pour the concrete.



I knew this rain and snow was coming so I made a tent so my trench wouldn’t cave in and have to be re-excavated before the inspector finally shows up.

-1 here this morning truck cranked pretty darn slow I agree a great day for an evening sit

4 eagles(2 pr) watching me bro




om car off

5 degrees here this morning.
Around here the deer feed in the daytime when it's this cold.

ok,i gotta put on my snow camo and go hunt a while in this.no wind and cray peaceful out there.

Deer and Squach eggs are great Basted hard, if you can find them.

This cold snap the deer moved very heavy the 12 hours before and are laying up during, most in the clear cuts from last year. They will move heavy when it starts moving off. I think it's easy now for them to hunker down a day or two now as they have as much fat reserve as they are going to get.
That being said the zero or so temps here now are pretty mild for a cold front. In another month or two the deer will be up and feeding with the sun at 30 below and worse.

What cold? It's 33 here.

Same here.

dang nice walk,the bucks are movin by the sign i saw but only 12 doe.watched 7 for an hour hopin someone would come by to service the herd with no luck.did find a big hole in the ground with grey fox tracks goin in and out.

Was out scouting day before yesterday. Saw a small tree moving and thought it was a squirrel jumping around. Snuck up to the edge of the fence line and it was a spike just banging the fire out of a small sapling. He jumped the fence and passed by me at about 25 yds. Never knew I was around. Dumb kids!!
Got some snow last night - not much but enough to track in - was 13 degrees this morning.

It definitely was cold here this morning sitting in my ladder stand, had a NW wind that was blowing right on my neck, I didn’t last too long. Didn’t see crap anyway

Lug... Your insurance lets you get away without caps on those vertical rod ends? Not required out there until the pour?

I don't know if my liability ins. requires them or not but I would guess they do. They are required by OSHA and local code and were put in place after the pic. The inspector is coming tomorrow morning and that is the type of thing they'd fail me for in that township, Codemasters are super-picky there.

The cones are set up over the building line pins. Now you have me worried that I should get some caps on them too! LOL

Sorry....
