I remember last year very well. Snow on the ground and extremely cold out. I was discouraged to say the least...But there was "no deer on my couch" so it must be time to hunt. To my right I finally seen movement. A 3" spike walks out. And behind him follows a very wide 8 pt. with extreme caution....watched him fall about 30 seconds later!
Can happen when you least expect it!

Why is it I have a group of deer wander through my backyard only in the evening? Last night it was 8 deer around 7PM and it included two very large does.

It was nothing but a turkey show this morning...

It's colder now than what was this morning when you factor in the wind chill.

Current outside conditions here - 0* w/ 16 mph WNW steady wind

Inside the my shop - a comfortable 78* with a cherry red hot wood stove burning away.

This old man will be back out this evening for a couple hours.

You sir, win the dedication badge. A treestand in this weather doesn't seem safe. Doubt if i could draw a kiddie bow in this cold. Good luck

Appreciate it!

Yes, I'm getting my share of hunting in no doubt and I'm loving every minute of it.

Trust me, I feel extremely blessed that I'm able to do so...

These current winter conditions right now take me back to the day when I was a kid living on the north-shore of Oneida Lake in upstate NY where we'd have 2-3 months of it.
