Holy cow! How much snow on the ground?? I will be using my John Deere tomorrow on the storm we have coming.
It's hard to tell, it's relatively open around me so it's waist deep in some spots and calf deep in others. More than enough to call it a real winter...lol.
I wish I could come up with a better place for that bale, but it has to go where half the snow from the driveways gets piled. As you know, a tractor and a loader can make short work of a job like that.
Thanks for reminding me why I moved south.
Wow! It's 54 degrees here .....
Looks familiar... been a loooong winter already in Minnesota!!
Where are you located Easykeeper?
I'm near Stillwater.

I'm out in the country about 20 miles south of Lake Mille Lacs.
Looks like its time to build an enclosure AKA a shooting barn. All that snow has to do a number on your eyes when shooting, so much white. Do you get headaches from it
I can shoot in my pole barn or in my house (only 8yrds), but there's nothing like being out under the sky. Unfortunately it's going down to -20deg. F. again so it's back in the house I go.
That is precisely why I cannot live up north!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

Don break any arrows :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
It was 80 degrees down here today without a cloud in the sky.
Carfeful shooting into that bale . If there is a lot of moisture from the early wet stuff it could be like shooting into an ice block! Could be hard on your arrows. I made that mistake last year. This year I've been keeping it covered with a tarp.
I'm a couple hrs. North of you I keep snow blowing a trail to my bale but either don't have time or its to dark or too cold.
Sometimes I question why I live here. Those southern boys get to shoot outside year round with not much more,than a sweatshirt. I don't even feel like bunny hunting this year the snow is too deep to be trudging through. Ahhhh whataya gonna do? :jumper:

All fine with the bale fingers. I sometimes get a little skim of frozen material on the surface but it doesn't affect the arrows. Makes getting the wrap off kind of a pain though when I put one in for the horses.
It's getting a little old around here. Too many days below zero. It hurts to look at that pic.
Man I'm startin to worry about the deer around here. This cold has to be getting hard on them.
Green grass and upper 40s here in WA.
Looks familar! My targets a little smaller, and lost a new arrow in the snow drift. Offered my son a dollar if he finds it. Needle in a haystack! Have to wait for spring.
I'm seeing green grass! Thank goodness I live in the "banana belt!"

Good god how's your back lol!!
I had a target butt set up one year and decided to go out one morning in the winter after it had been cold for a while. Shot my first arrow and that arrow stayed there until spring... couldn't pull it out, lol!
