I t was -8 on Sat when I hit the farm with the muzzleloader, nothing was moving, except a small yearling that i deemed just to small to shoot. It was sunny with no wind, so my buddy Terry and i sat on a little sunny hilltop where we could see down the powerline 300 yds in each direction, and just shot the bull.Really enjoyable despite the bitter cold. Sunday, was warming up, but with it came the winds. Had a buck that had already dropped its rack run out in front of the truck. All the deer I saw were out of muzzleloader range. Freezing rain at 5:00am today followed by a few inches of wet snow. very few patients have showed up, most cancelling, so its really a slow day.
