i got up at 5:30 looked at the temp that said -20, got into my hunting clothes, and drove to the adress that i was given by my friend inviting me to this last shoot of the year.

arriving at 8:30 the temp was all of -18 and ice fog.

it was one of the most beautyful days i have seen in a long time, and i just wanted to share it with you.

the point is: get dressed and head out and enjoy even if polar bears are heading for cover because of the weather.

If you're dressed for it there's magic in the cold air of winter.

Great picture
I did a very similar thing recently in Northern Ontario it was -27 plus wind chill !
For 02 days I saw nothing and shot nothing
it was magic .......

the silence the anticipation

Great Picture Peter and i to headed out stalking in the cold -18 when i started out and warming up to a mild -14 by the time the deer came out. But what a picture of nature you see in the extreem cold.

Thanks for sharing the magic moments, both of you

Gorgeous.....I love the coldest of days.

Peter --- living in Southern California -4 degrees Fahrenheit is a bit brisk but "back in the old days when ..." I can remember hunting moose when it was -40 degrees Fahrenheit. I can also remember how hard is was to butcher the animal on the ground.

Now those were the days.
