Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire More snow here

I hope you luck, gonna start working on them myself! Hard on the quail, what's left of them and other game I'm sure!

74-- Well it is snowing. Not much though, building up on the top of the pickup and fence posts. Melting as soon as it hits the ground. Little tiny flakes and is pretty dry. You all will probly get this tomorrow or tomorrow night. Won't be much unless it makes up between here and there. Wind has laid and switched more to the north east what little there is so it is coming in your direction. Temp is just hovering around freezing. On one hand I was sort of hoping because I can make a little pocket change with my tractor pulling idiots out of the ditches out on the highway. On the other hand I am glad for my old cows. Got to go put out something so they can build a fire in their bellys in a bit.

BCR,
Temps hovering at 16 @ 11:00 EST with the high today of 30 around 5:00PM. They are giving us more snow but just light, so I would say it is the same system that moved thru your area. At least the sun is shining bright today. The pocket change maker here is a tractor w/scrapper blade clearing parking lots. Most know how to drive in this stuff, but companys like to get those lots cleaned to prevent frivolous lawsuits. Yea'll you better build a fire in those cows, are they calving yet? Its about time for most of them to start around here and a long winter puts a hurt on them sometimes. Hay is in short supply around here due to the extreme dry or wet conditions last year. Earlier last year it was too wet for the first cutting and most lost it, then it got dry and nothing grew, just went dormat. Those that did get it in, their hay was mostly poor quality and low in protein since it was cut to late to avoid the rains, just a bunch of hollow stems. better than nothing I guess.

74 Temps back up in the low forties but stll cloudy so you all will not see sun for a while when this all gets to you.
My mamas started in November. Just about calved out now save some heifers I saved back and they should start end of the month. Got out syrup tubs and good hay for them. Don't want them too fat.
Hay is pretty long here. Early cut wasn' t much but then it rained. Unless winter lasts through March I'll be fine.
Throw another log on the fire.

Buddy ole Pal! I'll trade you..............may even throw in a little boot.......

Mi casa es su casa...your welcome anytime. 5 is a great age, my daughter is five and will not let me practice the bow unless she can help. She watches the hunting shows with me and keeps bugging me to take her out so she can kill some deer! Kinda scarey now that I think of it...

If she is just five then Bruz you got some intresting years ahead of you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Just wait, when she get up there in the teen years, dating, knows it all, learning to drive not to mention other things, whew-wee boy, you got a long roe to hoe! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

7400hunter...yea, I can hardly wait! I am studying up on less than lethal ways to keep the boys away already! All I can say is I am glad I don't believe in carma, cause my life would not be worth living if I have to reap what I have sown... I bring home a pound of chocolats every day for her, figure if I can get her up to 300 pounds or so by the time she is 13 my life will be a little easier!

Looks like I won't have to "summerize" the snowmachines this year - I haven't even taken the tarps off!

7400 - rained on and off all day today, about 40 degrees. We are calling it the Pineapple Express. Monster weather pattern suckin' air up from Hawaii neighborhood.

Art- you goin' blind? After his hint, I saw the deer, but thought it was a doe. Still can't see the horns. Guess we'd better stick to them 60 inch racks, huh? (Assuming I ever see one!)

las,
I'll get a closer pic posted of it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> so you can see it. Look at all the Deer you been missing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

They are giving us a chance of 1" today and another 1" tonight. Just slowly sliding it to us <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Bruz,
Hey, thats a bad bad move, they make 300 lbs guy's too! They will be harder to take down, thicker hide and everything, better think of another way...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

"Ten Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter"

Some thoughtful information for those who are daughters, were daughters, have
daughters, intend to have daughters, or intend to date a daughter.

Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package,
because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long
as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off
of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear
their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this
as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and
open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door
with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object.
However, In order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course
of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers
securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier
method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate: when it comes to sex, I am the
barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five: In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics,
and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from
you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house,
and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."

Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other
girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you
have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is
finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and
more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the
movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that
can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why
don't you do something useful, like change the oil in my car?

Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places
where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there
are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places
where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient
temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff
T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to
her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies
which feature chainsaws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a pot-bellied, balding, middle-aged,
dim-witted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing,
merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you
have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a
shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of
your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside of Hanoi.
When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to
clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the
driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. speak the perimeter
password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and
early, then return to your car. There is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged
face at the window is mine.

7400Hunter,

We've had the cold. The snow we were supposed to get didn't come. Too bad for the country road crews. They won't be able to pump the pooch this weekend. I figure they gotta make half their annual income in Jan and Feb with overtime. I don't begrudge 'em their extra pay. But I just wisch they'd drive around and not put down salt when it's not needed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

What we need is about 72 hours of steady rain to wash away the hundreds of unnecessary tons of salt on our road.

Yep, good slow rain wouldn't hurt. The roads are white from salt around here along with the cars and trucks, my SUV <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The fish will think they have moved to the ocean once it does rain, which water shed do you live in, Lake Erie or Ohio River? I'm thinking it divides up around you somewhere, am I right on my thinking? You were talking about not pulling off the roads up there in another post. I remember the roads up in the area just east of you, on either side was a drainage ditch of about 10-15 foot deep and about that wide. They kept the bean fields and corn fields drained well, but a problem for the motorist that happened off the road.

7400Hunter,

I think Ohio. We are on Cicero Creek which dumps into the North Branch of the White River to the Wabash to the Ohio.

las,
Here put your classes on.............. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
