BALMY! When I was out there in the '70's it never seemed to get up to -10 this time of year!

Let's hear the story, the Gang is in need of hunting tale.

Nice Bird!  Those little bows kill me!  I guess if I didn't have gorilla arms w/ skint up knuckles I could shoot a short bow.
Congrats again!

It was -29 last week when I woke up!!! Highs for the day were -3 for most of last week. A little early for that kind of cold.

I have a spot where The birds go to feed pretty regularly. I wanted to get in before it got light, but I was running a little late. The birds were already there when I got to my spot. There were about 40-50 birds feeding. I got to about 20yds. The biggest gobbler actually started to strut!!!!! He was in a half strut as I came to full draw.........
