Opening day tomorrow and there is snow on the ground with more on the way. Fried walleye on the menu tonight and stuffed pork chops tomorrow. Should be snowing again at the shack when we arrive late this afternoon. Sauna tomorrow will be great. Lots of people this weekend inc MsAZW and my daughter but the rest of the week it is just me and my hunting buddy until Friday when the crowd shows back up. | ||

I am in Eveleth right now. I go to the stand with a backpack that has a -30 deg bag - I get up in the stand and pull that on and stay warm as toast. Have shot a ton of MN deer in that bag. Will be hunting near Birchdale. | |||

Turned out to be a great hunt. Wife and I both took nice deer the first weekend in Pine County MN which is in the eastern middle of the state. Lots of deer seen. | |||

I think you have the right idea! Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

When I was younger I would hunt such temps now I throw more wood on the fire and hunt by looking out the window. | |||

It snowed here last night. I got stuck hauling gravity boxes in the 3155 yesterday, the only tractor with no heat. With all the breakdowns, it made for a long cold day.

Well, Friday was pretty cold but the old sleeping bag trick worked again. Shot a nice 10 pointer yesterday; back at my daughter's tonight. As for cold temps, I recall one night in Alaska sleeping without heat at -55F; I had a civilian bag inside my Army bag, and breathed through the sleeve of my parka. It was still a chilly night. | |||

Was that Rice Lake in about 1977? I remember a really cold snap then. Ding me when you get to AZ if you are PHX; I will buy you a beer. At the Mesabi Curling Club watching my daughter curl - now there is some fast paced action - I have to break out a brown paper bag and breathe into it so I don't hyperventilate. | |||

1967 I think the mayor was holding a thermometer that read -65. We go to Yuma get to PHX once in awhile | |||
