Looks pretty. Upper 80's here today.

Did the lake effect stay away?

barbender · November 10, 2018, 03:20:00 PM

Ugh.

We're supposed to get a little here tonight!

We have had strong "and cold" winds here all day!

Your picture looks like a Christmas card Jeff!

Roxie · November 10, 2018, 04:58:17 PM

Yes it does, Chuck. Just beautiful and you can see how quiet it is there.

thecfarm · November 10, 2018, 05:14:46 PM

I got about 2 inches. Still here. Wind is blowing. Cold.

Al_Smith · November 10, 2018, 05:46:15 PM

We got about 1.5 inches but it was gone by afternoon .Rather early for this part of Ohio in recent years .

Bonus for taking a phone and a shotgun to the outhouse with you. A picture and supper.

Just got here Thursday afternoon.

Great photos Jeff, and nice hunt. That should be a tasty supper tonight. Looks like your shot placement was very gentle on that breast meat too. I always have been fond of the winter and snow. Nothing beats hunting in new snow.

He was feeding on the high Bush cranberries growing by the outhouse. His crop was full. He was up in the top of the Bush. I waited for him to put his head up then aimed high.

No deer hunting today. The woods is an impenetrable wall of bent trees and snow. During the day while I was shoveling, I could hear crashes from breaking and falling tops. The front field depicted was probably safe.:)cra

Do you dress your birds by standing on the wings and pulling the feet up in your area?

sawguy21 · November 10, 2018, 08:57:08 PM

That is what I woke up to yesterday but not nearly as much, it is pretty well gone now.

chevytaHOE5674 · November 10, 2018, 10:49:48 PM

Musta been warmer out east. Our snow was dry and fluffy so when the gales of November came thru it all blew into drifts. No shoveling required this time. Yours is much more peaceful and pretty.

Yup!

Not sure how to approach getting in the woods to hunt. It's a solid tangled wall of snow and trees. The trails are non existant. While shoveling yesterday I could hear tops snapping from the woods

chet · November 11, 2018, 09:37:51 AM

I actually love ta hunt when it's like dat. I get a feeling of total seclusion wandering around in dat stuff. And if ya take yer time it's easy ta sneak up on dem deer if ya know where they are bedded. ;) It can be rather difficult ta see far enough ta get a good shot though. :D

Jeff · November 11, 2018, 02:10:34 PM

Hard to see twenty feet! I hiked back and got the camera this morning.

47sawdust · November 11, 2018, 03:51:00 PM

Do you always take a shotgun to the outhouse?
I guess you can't be too careful up dere in da U.P.

Jeff · November 11, 2018, 05:04:39 PM

not always, but often. We have bears wolves coyotes Bobcats cougars and redsquirrels. :D

The gun is more because the outhouse over looks berry patches food plots and apple trees. That's why I'll be eating grouse this week.
