Shoveled out my bale.

Good thing I had a diesel tractor with a loader...

Holy cow! How much snow on the ground?? I will be using my John Deere tomorrow on the storm we have coming.

Easykeeper · January 20, 2014, 07:06:00 PM

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.

Todd Cook · January 20, 2014, 07:27:00 PM

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

Easykeeper · January 20, 2014, 08:01:00 PM

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

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?

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.

SS Snuffer · January 21, 2014, 09:15:00 PM

Man I'm startin to worry about the deer around here. This cold has to be getting hard on them.

Bear Heart · January 21, 2014, 09:21:00 PM

Green grass and upper 40s here in WA.

NIGEL01 · January 21, 2014, 10:19:00 PM

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.

akbowbender · January 21, 2014, 10:46:00 PM

I'm seeing green grass! Thank goodness I live in the "banana belt!"

Looking at a high of 10 today
