At 10 this morning it was 16 below. It wasn't going to get much warmer so I took off at 11 which by this time had warmed up to 14 below. Checked a quick spot... no luck. Got to the main area I wanted to snoop and started the 3/4 mile walk to get to a spot I figured would be hot. Saw two bucks with one carrying just a side and the other carrying both. Saw 4 coyotes by the time I got back to the truck. I was wishing I had brought my .243 !! The spot was indeed pretty hot. Picked up 6 sheds in a 3-4 acre spot. I would imagine there are a few sheds buried in the snow. I had deer come back into that spot while I was there. I was surprised how much I got away with. One fawn was really curious but my camera wasn't taken the cold too well so I never got a picture of it when he would come within 60 yards checking me out several times. Also had a coyote sit down and watch me for a while. He stayed about 70 - 80 yards away. Was a great outing !!! Anyways... here are the sheds... I see two.... Tim
Awesome pics, and great finds! Found another dead deer (a fawn this time) while pullin trail cam cards. I really need to shoot some damn dogs around here soon.
I hear ya! My friend and i got set for what we think was the last hunt for us at 4 this afternoon and the windchill was -30, i had 1 muzzleloader tag left and i filled it about 5:15. We both agreed that was the coldest hunt we've ever done.
Congrats on filling your last tag. Hunting is a lot tougher in the cold then shed hunting. Least with shed hunting you are moving to stay warm. Tim
Awesome pix and day out and about Tim! way to get after it in bitter cold weather! Whoohoooo! U at 16 now right? I found just 1 today.. headed south at 4:30 am..wish me luck!
No... I am at 14. Good luck tomorrow. Wished I lived closer... I would surely try helping you out !! Tim
