cold, windy day and no deer

Post by wabi »

Took my son out today with the muzzleloader (Ohio youth gun season) and it was downright nasty. Only around freezing temps but a good stout wind blowing made it seem much colder. :shock:
We set up in a ground blind, and I'll admit I'm glad he insisted we bring along the little propane heater (Coleman Sport Cat). :lol: :lol:
No deer sighted today (no real surprise with the wind we had), but we did have a good time just being outdoors together. Even had a pretty hard snow falling as we headed back home, but no accumulation.
At least he should sleep soundly tonight (I know I will). :roll: :lol:

We'll try it again tomorrow!

Yesterday, we had high temp 14 degrees Fahrenheit and 7 degrees Fahrenheit as our low. No matter this week is showing to be warmer in the 20's possible 30's degrees Fahrenheit highs during the days of Thanksgiving..
