    My niece and her boyfriend drove up to WI from Florida for Christmas one year. It didn't go so well.

    When they hit the cold roads, the car had almost no traction even though there was no snow. Tires made for heat suck in the cold.

    And of course, the washer fluid froze.

    Praying she can keep her thumb, with every injury there is a great time for teaching. I sent this to all buddys who take kids and wives hunting with X bows. Thanks for sharing that looks TERRIBLE!!

    Just what this doctor ordered! Great to hear. Must have been in the 10 ring.

    Thumb girl...now her doctor probably ordered lots of other things. Crossbows make me nervous. They seem dangerous. They are under so much pressure.

    Ok warming up was shaking so bad my back started hurting.
    So packing up and spooked all those earlier doe in apples infront of me. I couldn't see or hear them until... then walking out I almost walked into a big buck. He just whirled and crossed road. Not sure in points but mass and out side ears.
    Now I wish I could discribe the deer trails EVERYWHERE,EVERYWHERE. Here are some pics of what is typical for all of them. These are all different trails as I walked out.
