Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

Just got in from blowing snow with my cub cadet. No cab and 0 degrees. I decided to try out my new parka, bibs and boots.

I was out there for 2 1/2 hours and I'm sweating like a feverish moose in a sauna! Holy crap that stuff is WARM!

I had to break the blower out this morning. Only had an inch of new snow, but the wind had a ball with the 10" we picked up earlier in the week. More snow on the way Saturday than again Monday and Wednesday. At this rate I'm going to have to bring in a truck and loader to haul it away.

I was over in the Western part of the state Thursday and the trip home was not fun. Total white outs from the blowing snow across Hwy 29.

Yuck! Back in Duluth to help my dad on his car and the snow is stacking up! Not many places to put it from plowing anymore.

got about 5-6 inches so far,as of 700 am Saturday.

Looks like it's going to miss us, yeah.

I need to get the snow rake out today and pull as much off the roof as I can.

Bill,

When you post your weather reports, I can't help but notice that your weather patterns are nearly identical to ours here in west central MN.

Just like when I spent a week in Brookville, PA for work. I learned that the guys I worked with paid attention to the weather in Fargo because whatever Fargo was getting they usually got 2 - 3 days later.

I find that fascinating

How is the new job going Fluffy?

Thanks for sharing Rooster. What ever weather you get, we normally do get about 6 - 8 hours later.

Did pull quite a bit of snow off the roof on the North side. I use a 6' step ladder a 16' snow rake. Not fun. The worst was the flat roof over the porch.

this Friday is my last day at my present job.
the manager told me it felt like getting kicked in the nuts when he found out I was leaving.

Well I would certainly think so. I've seen your work on here. Good luck on your new endeavor!

He felt real bad but couldn't come up with any more $ ? Typical management.

Shot two ol boar squirrels this am gonna make squirrel and dumplings maybe. They've been boing since noon and still as tough as a rubber ball .

Typical.

Good luck on the new job.

made it home, exhausted. had an awesome trip, brought meat home although I didn't get a chance to hunt elk, they had already moved off the ranch. killed some prairie dogs and spent time with a good friend.

You brought prarie dogs home for meat? Gross!

Glad u made er back safely.

Couldn't be any worse than that squirrel we ate tonight the dumplings were most excellent but I swear one of them suckers was on the boat with Noah.

I have a feeling they are going to try,but Im not sure I want to stay.

pressure cooker.

I cooked up some lower grade beef cuts the other day to make stroganoff,total time to cook the 2 lbs of cubed beef?

25 minutes,and it was falling apart.

fluffy, best of luck on your new employment. Knock 'em dead.
