Arctic blast coming through tonight. Weatherman saying 8° tonight with winds speeds of 20+ and gusts to 40mph. Wind chills will be in the minus digits in the morning. To early for that. Those are January/February temps!

I have a couple of pairs of Alpaca socks from Farm and Fleet as well as a pair of wicking socks. I find they do a good job walking and on a deer stand but standing on ice for any length of time I'd use a wool pad in the boot. My boots are 800 gram in the toes and 400 gram in the upper boot. I...

35° here. Crazy huh?

Thinking of ya Carl. Lizards dropping like flys. Our cat used to love watching them drop to the concrete. Then as the sun warmed them they'd slowly get to going again. Funny how hunting here in that temp is nothing but hunting the bay down there was brutally cold!

I contacted him as well. Thanks Eric.

How I would love to hunt in water that had a hard bottom. Where I hunt there would be ankle deep water but you'd be up to your crotch in mud!

Lol. It's normally Canadian Mist but I'm out of Seven up.

It's the simple things in life. Goose stew and a Bush Light!

Be happy to get contact info for you.

Not mine. Just thought someone may be interested. https://www.facebook.com/share/14nkC7rpmr/

In our area there are a few ramps managed by the Corp of Engineers. I don't use them often as they are less than ideal. No docks and they line the shore with large rocks so they are very difficult to use if you're a solo hunter/fisherman. They charge $5 a day or you can buy a season pass I...

It's going to get colder I hear. I remember that damp cold goes to the bone!

Wasn't meant to be this morning. Three nights in the teens and the ramps in my area are locked up with ice. The Mississippi River is basically a lake right now with very little flow so no thoughts of ice moving out. Time to clean things up and put them away for the season. I hope everyone that...

It reminds me of a place here in Iowa called Lake Odessa. In the late 60s I had the chance to hunt this lake and it was just like that. 20' boats with hard blinds and 115hp outboards. The birds came into the timber just like that. A lot of racing and swearing. The lake had staked areas allowing...

Sounds like a good season. Congrats. I saw a Woodie on the river yesterday. To far for a shot as I sat there thinking that bird didn't get the memo. No venison so far this year. The summer flood drove the deer off the islands for the most part. So far I've seen a doe with a fawn and a yearling...

Thanks Eric.

I thought I was going home too Dave. I backed the boat out onto the ice and broke through. Picked a close island. Had several good groups flying the snow and lucked out with these and headed back to the ramp before it froze back up. Hoping it gets a bit warmer by the end of the week to finish...
