I enjoy getting out a couple of times in soft, fresh snow, bitter cold, and still air, even if it's just to sit and watch the woods, or track critters around to see what they're up to. Snow has been rare during deer season of late, although I did take a doe with a muzzleloader in a driving "wintry mix" a few years back, and had to drag her about a mile to my car. Great fun!

Back in the '80s, my brother and I spent an entire day out in the woods near Gettysburg trying to get a doe. The temperature barely cracked the teens, and the wind howled like a demon all day. We were wearing pretty much everything we owned, froze our azzes off, and saw not a hair.

What fresh Hell is this?
