Well, my son showed up at the butt crack of dawn to go deer hunting. It was COLD and windy. He had his mountain climbing/cold weather gear and was prepared for it. I wisely stayed in the truck.grin 2 1/2 hrs. after he got out there[9 am], I heard one lone shot. He got his meat deer for the yr. About 135 lb. field dressed, basket racked 9 pt.[if ya count every bump on it's antlers grin ]. I was proud as hell of him for taking the cold. We did a 2 man push on a couple other woods, to no avail. Think I'm done deer hunting for the year. Too dam*ed cold for this old man to set out.

One shot from his H&R handi rifle, 44 mag.

Side note, between the two of us, we saw 10-12 limb chickens moving around. I had one come down to within 3 ft. of me while I was standing behind a tree, on one of the two man drives. Gonna clean up my 44 mag, and break out the 10/22, soon as this weather warms up a bit.
