Angry Weather

Well, we were gonna head up today and scout one last spot before the season. Only problem is it's at the top of the highest point for about 2 miles in any direction and we got thunderstorms rolling through So, instead of wasting the gas to drive up there only to be driven down the mountain by lightning we're gonna hold off until next weekend How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

I need to do the same thing. I haven't hunted in a few years so I'm sure there's a few items that need to be replaced. I guess I'll do it today since I'm not going anywhere.

High 70's today, same tomorrow, chance of rain Monday and 60°, Tuesday back in the 70's and clear.

I could handle this till March, but it ain't gonna happen. I hope they are wrong about the natural gas prices this winter, otherwise I'll have to cut the thermostat back to 60° and start burning the furniture.

I pray for global warming.

Best wishes, Bill

Thanks Dan. I'll take some warm clothes for sure. Should be good. Perfecto would be to set up spike camp before it snows, then get a few inches so we can see the fresh tracks. A little cold could have 'em moving around more. We'll see....
