Itβs a month of constantly changing weather. Get a day in the mid 60s, followed by 3 days of 30s. A day or two of sunshine followed by a week of rain or snow.

I thought this was going to be about March scopes.
"Full time night woman? I never could find no tracks on a woman's heart. I packed me a squaw for ten year, Pilgrim. Cheyenne, she were, and the meanest bitch that ever balled for beads."
I love March for load development, I can always blame the group sizes on the fluky winds...and being something of an optimist, there is always a chance the wind will blow a shot right into the group center.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
Great movie, but I do have a hard time watching Will Gere without remembering his background. I know itβs a strange way for a Christian to think, but I canβt help myself. Friday was 65*, Saturday and Sunday breezy and 40*, cloudy, breezy, at 30* with flurries this morning. Sorta hard to be optimistic sometimes!π Walmart already had wheelbarrows, planting soil and some berry plants for sale. The Robins have been back here for over 3 weeks!π Iβm not the most patient of Christians I guess! Reon

Never been outside the lower 48. Iβd like to visit your AO sometime. Heat and humidity usually tare me up, and summer can definitely be a witch in Pennsyltucky occasionally. But Iβm usually okay if I can keep myself busy. Late summer is always good though, because I do work outside, and Iβm loading shells and anticipation of hunting season!π March always seems to drag for me. I need to learn to be more patient. But this contrary weather drags down my spirits which are at their lowest after hunting seasons over with. The short days and cold weather do that, and a couple days of warm nice weather always come to a kick in the teeth once the wind kicks up and the cold comes back.πI have always thought that a decent day this time of year should be a paid holiday if you promise to get outside and accomplish something! Itβs been a couple weeks since I have pulled a trigger on something. A little bit of recreational gunfire is always good therapy for a down spirit, and I am looking forward to a trip to Gettysburg in a few weeks. Reon

I hear ya. I've already got about 300+ miles on the bikes but now it's 34f and will stay in the 30s for the next ten days, with snow coming near the end of the week.. I wanna RIDE, man! And I need SUN!

Television and radio are most effective when people question little and think even less.

We had 52 & sunshine as we paddled to our camp site, and 25 with heavy winds and snow squalls all night as we slept and all day Sunday as we paddled to the take out.
Crazy March weather grateful to have had a canoe couldnβt have backpacked in all the gear necessary to stay comfortable in that weather!
I have a buddy who is a few years older than me. He always requested we call him Pap, so we did. I still do though we donβt work together anymore. Gun nut, history buff, great friend. I gave him several books to read, told him βTheyβre yours. Keep them, or if you donβt want them, pass them on to another patriotic person β. Anyway Pap and his wife go camping in a tent every year over New Years. He has a spot he can get his truck to, and I believe he takes his grandkids along. Sometimes the whole fam damily! Iβd like to do that sometime. Dave had a camper, and we went together a few times, he and his wife and Penny and I. But a camper on a park is just a picnic. Itβs fun to relax, but itβs not camping to me. Wilkes Hunter, I hear you, and I occasionally have felt your pain. I had some land before. I gathered up a dozen old tires and stacked them together and filled them with dirt. I got some old skids to tack some cardboard to and hang targets on. I had my very own 100 yard range. Occasionally youβll need a new skid because theyβll eventually be shot up to where you have trouble hanging target. But itβs cheap and itβs easy. Reon

Feeding the pups at 6am , occasional something flitering down from above. Bloom petals? Nah, flurries. After a week of 70's for highs....no wonder we haven't had any local peaches the last few years.

Its a matter of calm down and rock on. You can load shells all year long. There are so many things you can do when its ugly outside. And to be honest the body needs some rest and down time.
Time change here in TX now and I"m back to working all evening and getting tired of it already.
Life isn't only hunting and fishing and people need to learn that. But it can be mostly hunting and fishing.
Heck I have an AR I have not had time to zero yet and a 284 that needs load work and thats been a few years. Just things come up. Building more ARs. Working on friends guns. Honey do list. Just tons of stuff if you decide you are going to get going and do it.
And yes, now and then in that horrible winter time I just kind of chill out for a day here and there.
TX summers. 130 in the direct sun. 80 % humid. No rain. Feels like someone walked by you with a rosebud on the tip. Nope. Don't ever want to deal with that again if I can avoid it.
And the best thing, if you hate March so bad its more than half gone.
And shortly you won't have to deal with my posts for another 6-7 months likely. Grins.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
Today is typical of why I hate March. At 7am it was raining lightly and 47*. The rain cleared out, and the wind picked up. Blowing steady around 25 mph, gust that will actually push you and you have to adjust your footing. Itβs also down to the mid 30s. It hasnβt been above the upper 40s all week. Last Friday was the only decent day we had for getting outside out of the last 10!π€¬ Okay, rant is over! Carry on!π Reon
