Winter
 

Well winter has set into the Dakotas and it was -7 at my house this AM. I have a ton of deer tags to fill from now till the end of Jan and want to do some more bird hunting also but man my old bones don't like this at all.

Nulle, Come on. You make it sound like this never happened before. You, at Belle Fourche, and myself, at Rawlins, have had an unbelieveing long and pleasant Indian summer. I know how terrible it was back October 9 when I passed through Belle Fourche on the way to Bismark to chase pheasants. It was the same on the way back.
Right now my old bones are also complaining about the sudden start of winter. That is why we are tough old birds; all of the heating and cooling. I do hope you get those tags filled. The meat shouldn't spoil if you let it hang a few days.

Guess ya got that right. I REALLY need to warm up with somebody in Texas where I can hunt quail for a month or so or even a week would be nice.

Nulle-

It was a frigid 60 here yesterday. Been warm all fall. I know what's around the corner.

Same thing here. However, I too know what is coming and just went out and bought a bunch of Grabber hand warmers and toe warmers and am getting ready to order new pac boots and a Mr. Buddy heater for the blind. I am way too tired of being cold.

Hey its warm and sunny down here...

I really have to get out of this country in the winter. I own a house in Aberdeen but its colder yet there.

4 below here this AM.. I really have no trouble with the temps..Long fall this year..not normally that warm in November

Nulle with all the foreclosures you could get you a little condo on the beach in winter...sit on the balcony have you a cold mojito with a little umbrella in it..some conch salad and watch the girls in string bikini's...hhhhheeeeeehaaaawww...sit back and say to self...life is good..

You tease !

Tease is all I got left...at my old age..

Ditto = Hey we did meet on this site now that I think of it. That was a time back.

Suppose to get 5-6"s of snow tomorrow, duck marsh long been frozen over, but upland bird seasons still open. Soon as the highs get in the 30s again will give them a whirl. Good news is have a duck hunt comeing up in SW Louisiana right after Christmas. Don't know Nulle, but as one gets older one can not tolerate the cold that much anymore.

You got that right ! I havn't been after ducks in years but maybe next year we sure have plenty of them around to shoot at. Sunday and Monday I am supposed to be chasing grouse again if things work out.

Now have the first real snow of the year and as the highs will be in the teens next week it'll be here for awhile. Looks like 2-3"s now and still snowing. The accident rate will sky rocket as people forget from one year to the next in snow. Almost 50 yrs. ago started my Civilian LE work as a trffic officer, hated first snows.
