Hey all you Southern guys!

[pappy]

We've been down into the mid 20's this past week and we also had some snow flurries  

Supposed to be mid 60's today and tomorrow -- Super I'll be able to get the roof on the camp.

Glad all our fire wood is in the cellar.  We be almost ready.

Come on down, sawguy!  There should be plenty of hotel rooms available by then. If you can't find one, I can always fluff up the hay in the barn for a cozy spot to flop in. Might put you to work, though. ;D :D

Wisconsin is close to Ontario.

Now it seems even closer..........


Except you forgot a couple;

Fire is something you make and sit around, not report.

Summer is the three weeks that the snowmobiling is poor.

You think cheese is made from milk, not 'edible petroleum by-products'.

...and the deer season opener is a viable excuse to miss work or school.

[Murf]

It's a public holiday in some parts of Ontario......

Mind you, most of those parts resound to the sounds of Banjo music after dark, and 'bumpkin' is a social practice not a term to decribe someone............ :

Here Bambi, Bambi...........

The schools around here finally learned a thing or two and it is now a holiday for the first day of buck season.  When I was younger there used to be a line of kids out the office door that were "sick" the first day of buck  :D

[Furby]

Yeah, some schools in Michigan allow several days off during dear season, as long as it's for hunting.

Now I know i've been living down here too long ;D, it's 65 outside now, i've got to bring in the dowg, and need a jacket to do that :D. The first 18 years of my life were in Michigan and i remember 45 was short sleeve weather .

  Bow season for deer opened last weekend and my biggest problem was finding my short legged camo pants and some more bug spray for the skeetters.   We should not see a frost till about mid Nov when gun deer season opens.  But just so you northern guys know they do make hunter orange "T" shirts for Southern hunts.  No! I did not kill a deer opening weekend as that would be stupid.  I only have 3 tags and the season runs till Feb.  No since ruining a good chance to go hunting before I even get started good. ;D

I think it was about four years ago that I was hunting in an orange t-shirt up here and then last season it was -10
