Go bust one Sam!

Maybe Clark will find something today too? How cold is it out there today? 58 here right now with 16mph wind. I may go bust some wood ducks....

Darrik, lots of decent bucks that will hopefully survive until next year.... 'no big sightings'.


Currently,


-14�F

Feels Like: -30�





Time to go start the smoke wagon.

A balmy -5 here this morning...I suspect it will be colder in Sams A/O...hope he does a drive by on bambi...

That's definitely out of my comfort zone!

Was North of Sam yesterday and it was the 1st time my 6.7L Ford failed to just fire right up despite being plugged in all night. Had to leave the key in the "on" position for about a minute before the computer thought stuff was actually warm enough to fire.

He was too nice to say we were idiots but he sort of implied it...

My buddy wanted to get a Christmas tree for his wife and so he cut one down. We were gettin' straight Griswald in that bitch. Only problem was when it hit the ground it looked like somebody threw a glass tree on the ground. We were laughin' our asses off in between tears of pain due to the cold.

Are the deer numbers overall way down for you guys out that way? It's amazing how few we are seeing this year.



Travis

There is a nice whitetail lingering about one area, but the landowner wants him to live through this season. He's nice, but we'd like him to become more nicer.




Travis

I can't recall many times that I was as cold as I was yesterday. It was -15 when we headed up the hillside and the wind was nothing short of brutal. It was pretty fuggin' bad. Even for here.



Travis

Clark,
Rumor has it you were really at the Mint all day and met a nice old man there.
I got the PM from your toasty warm Vagina.
GFY.




P.S. Tell your vagina the selfies were beautiful......
but loose lips, sink ships.

Same here.

Only mine is a gasoline powered sedan.

And I'm going to get donuts for Russ. Not to work.



Travis

The mint? What is that?

Did you fugg up the joke before it even started?



Travis

Poobs, it is a wee bit nippy in a refeeshing sort of way.


Darrik, extra clothes this morning!


Clay, I was wondering if you guys made it up!
(waiting for a hunt report when you get a minute)

The old 6.0 fired right up but of course it was plugged in.

It would be uber gay to hunt all day and come back to a truck that won't start. That thought has crossed my mind as well....



Travino, there are a few mule deer around but most bunches are living near fields/farm areas(aka welfare deer). Not nearly as many out in the hills.

Wind in sub zero weather is never a good thing.

I have a couple doe tags left, but I'm not sure I'll fill them. The kids have been filling the freezer and it looks like one of them is still on a mission.

This was my son's first year hunting (he's 7) and he busted a button buck early in the season. He then busted a doe a few days later. He likes to pull the trigger...

His big sister killed her first buck and it's been eating at him since. He's counting the days until late youth season (Dec 27 & 28).

A buddy's daughter shot the deer below during gun season, but didn't kill it. The bullet looks like it grazed the spine area -- maybe still in there? The buck went down for a few minutes, then got away as they were going to get him. It was a weird deal. Anyway, the deer is losing bunches of weight and I'm thinking he won't make it through the winter. I put a blind up hoping he's still around for late youth. Maybe the boy can connect for all the right reasons....

Luckily the slow start was in the hotel parking lot. When it didn't turn over right away I figured I was in for about 2hrs of drinking coffee before I could roust the jumpstart dude. Then I remembered a pard who used to pack in on the Buffalo Horn late in the season talking about coming back after the truck sitting cold for days or even a week and running the key to "on" and the glow plugs staying hot for ~2min, doing this twice before even trying to start. My glow plug light had turned off but it obviously wasn't warm enough. No big deal, especially considering we were in town and had a warm spot in case it didn't start.

Nice try at deflection.
I just froze my kuunt off for 3.5 hours on the river to no avail.
I'm headed to the Mint.

Have one for me!

Better day weather-wise over here by me and Clark. It's above 0 and only a mild breeze. Hoping the coyotes cooperate.

I just stepped outside for the second time to check the weather. It's gorgeous out.

I came back inside.



Travis

D, hope you guys that buck. Even if you don't maybe he'll pull out of it.


Clay, oh yeah, the old turn the glow plugs on 2-3 times and wait trick works great.
I went to start our old mixer wagon tractor this morning and it spun over slow and barely started.
Ran for a few seconds and wouldn't pop off again. Went to jump it and then realized it helps to turn the gas on.....duh



Wages, whiskey shots my man, instant antifreeze!



BGG, the sun is out and the yotes should be too!



Flave, it is uber nice out looking through the window...

Brutal here as well.

Frost was everywhere this morning.
