A foot of snow on the swamp right now would be a good thing

I would rather get some frost in them first. The Ash swamp still had open water in it yesterday and no frost at all. I will need to take the Tundra and run a track through it so we will have a sidewalk to walk on.
I have nothing clever to put here.

No plans at this time for fisher since I have seen almost no sign the past year or so here but have managed to fill my 4 otter tags. in the past week Glad I am done with them since it is cold in the water on old hands.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

I've picked up 2 otter so far, it's definitely tough on the fingers some days. I do have shoulder length gloves, but I never remember to bring them, they've been under the back seat of my truck still brand new since like June or July lol

Some of us are not as tough as you and wear rubber gloves with wool liners. I do all of that and use heat pads inside of them and still freeze my hands. Poor circulation. Just wait until you get to be old.

I think he is just pulling our leg and looking for sympathy.

Bobcat boxes are baited, going to load them in the trailer tomorrow or Friday. This is good weather to get the bait to stick firmly into the back of the boxes too. I only plan to run a few sets and will focus on riding along with the "almost" non residents that are coming.

Down here in the banana belt are far south as you can get in Minnesota it’s 3 degrees right now. Pretty cold daytime high for this early. Our new cat season starts January 4.

Our new cat season starts January 4. Upland bird and pheasant season closes on the 1st so the hunters and dogs should be out of the woods.

This isn't uncommon at least not up here. I think the warmest I saw on the pickup was minus five. Sun is shining and little wind, had to put a hoodie on for awhile. Yesterday it was fairly windy and sub zero highs. It was a little brisk.
