Winter

[Nulle]

Well winter has set into the Dakotas and it was -7 at my house this AM. I have a ton of deer tags to fill from now till the end of Jan and want to do some more bird hunting also but man my old bones don't like this at all.

Nulle, Come on. You make it sound like this never happened before. You, at Belle Fourche, and myself, at Rawlins, have had an unbelieveing long and pleasant Indian summer. I know how terrible it was back October 9 when I passed through Belle Fourche on the way to Bismark to chase pheasants. It was the same on the way back.
Right now my old bones are also complaining about the sudden start of winter. That is why we are tough old birds; all of the heating and cooling. I do hope you get those tags filled. The meat shouldn't spoil if you let it hang a few days.

[Nulle]

Guess ya got that right. I REALLY need to warm up with somebody in Texas where I can hunt quail for a month or so or even a week would be nice.

Same thing here. However, I too know what is coming and just went out and bought a bunch of Grabber hand warmers and toe warmers and am getting ready to order new pac boots and a Mr. Buddy heater for the blind. I am way too tired of being cold.

Hey its warm and sunny down here...

[Nulle]

I really have to get out of this country in the winter. I own a house in Aberdeen but its colder yet there.

[skeet]

4 below here this AM.. I really have no trouble with the temps..Long fall this year..not normally that warm in November

[Valigator]

Nulle with all the foreclosures you could get you a little condo on the beach in winter...sit on the balcony have you a cold mojito with a little umbrella in it..some conch salad and watch the girls in string bikini's...hhhhheeeeeehaaaawww...sit back and say to self...life is good..

[Nulle]

You tease !

[Valigator]

Tease is all I got left...at my old age..

[Nulle]

Ditto = Hey we did meet on this site now that I think of it. That was a time back.

Suppose to get 5-6"s of snow tomorrow, duck marsh long been frozen over, but upland bird seasons still open. Soon as the highs get in the 30s again will give them a whirl. Good news is have a duck hunt comeing up in SW Louisiana right after Christmas. Don't know Nulle, but as one gets older one can not tolerate the cold that much anymore.

[Nulle]

You got that right ! I havn't been after ducks in years but maybe next year we sure have plenty of them around to shoot at. Sunday and Monday I am supposed to be chasing grouse again if things work out.

[popplecop]

Now have the first real snow of the year and as the highs will be in the teens next week it'll be here for awhile. Looks like 2-3"s now and still snowing. The accident rate will sky rocket as people forget from one year to the next in snow. Almost 50 yrs. ago started my Civilian LE work as a trffic officer, hated first snows.

[Nulle]

Yup spent 25 years chasing tailights and now doing things I like to do and your right the first snow is always a mess.

[popplecop]

Nulle, you got any warm weather to send east, am ready for it. Was minus 10 when I got up now minus 6.

[Nulle]

Well I was in Aberdeen for a few days chasing pheasants and temp was + 8 for a high while back home it was running high 30's. Glad to be back home lol. If I get any warm weather I am going to Keep it for myself lol
I did send Val some of the Aberdeen temps to get her out of the pool.

[Larryjk]

Nulle, Are you getting snow with the low temperatures? In southern Wyoming we are cold, but very little snow. That is about normal for this time of year because we normally get the mountain snowpac after the new year starts. Send some our way. We need the water in the spring.

[Nulle]

No snow down where I live but the mountains got some. The temp really hasn't been that bad either

[popplecop]

Temp. finally in the low 20s today, but have about 10"s of snow after it settled down. Looks like we're going to get more next Mon. and Tues. Come to think of it Tues. will be the first day of winter.

[Nulle]

Well the last two days of December and looks like we are going to get some snow. It has been a real open winter so far in the foothills of the mountains. Eastern part of the state has had quite a bit of snow I guess.

[Nulle]

Yup we got it and looks like it will be late Saturday before I can get home. Called the wife and told her I would see her "next year". lol

[skeet]

We got a little snow but it did get cold. 6 below this morn. 0 as I type . Fed the birdies this AM . Those little suckers are insistent and not afraid of ya when ya got sunflower seeds. Pheasants and deer are eatin up some corn I got from a neighbor. Loaded with pheasants this year Saw the whole deer herd round the house this morning. Nobody got the 12 pointer(Eastern count). Counted 47 deer in the bunch. Had to go back east to the doc right during deer season..darn it. Or the big'un would be in the freezer. The rest of the elk season opens on the 1st of Jan.. Ends the 31st

[Nulle]

The deer are eating all the hay I have for the horse but I still have some black powder tags and about to thin the heard.

[Nulle]

They just shut down I-29 and I-90 till the AM
