Felt good to get out and stretch the legs today.After the temp got above 10 degrees, I headed a little North where the snowfall was only about 6", we only got 10" here at home. Was at a 3000 acre hunting club I belong to--and yes, we own all 3000 acres. No fine double gun hung over my arm, but instead an H&R Handi-rifle in .223. I put in 4 1/2 hrs in the fresh unbroken snow. Saw 3 bucks including a nice 10 pt and probably 20 does. The object of my desire today was coyote, I saw 2, but they saw me first, and no shots were available. An unfrozen pothole/beaver flowage had about 50 mallards on it--mental note to try duck hunting next year.
At home, the wife had laid out a package of walleye, so I made deep fried beer batter walleye. Gee, I wish it would snow again next weekend.
Hope you all have not had too much problems surviving Snowmegeddon.
