Hunterbob,
We had a big cold front, 0 degrees, come through about a month ago
and moved a lot of the birds South. I switch over to moving water
or dry land feeding areas next hunt.

That looks like a plan. Where I live it's 0 degrees right now.
I'm thinking about doing some reloading.

1Hunter, good time to do some reloading at, O degrees... lol.. I used to live in the North. Been there done that.....
Saw a lot more geese going south this morning too. Wind was blowing hard out of the South, and they looked like they were barely moving.... This is about 100 miles from the coast.

I must be getting old. I took up the rugs in my
reloading area, took them outside shook them
well and then vacuumed them and reorganized
my reloading equipment. Fortunately I have a insulated
and heated garage. It's now minus 2 degrees.

I'm still young at 66, and don't spend much time in the cold weather anymore. I used to hunt all the time in sub zero weather in mountains, when I was a kid .... lol
Once the Temp gets upwards of 80, and I get bit on the arss by a red ant or grab a tick off me.. I'm outa there then.... One got me yesterday on my right cheek, and let me tell ya, them sons a guns hurt like hell for a couple of days.

I'm only 65 and don't go hunting in the cold as I use to, now I hunt in New Mexico in Oct. Nov. (much warmer)

Yep, I had my fill of them biting bugs too... I carry one of those little 3 leg foldups, just so I don't have to sit on the ground..but it will sink in the ground at times lol... Down here we got what they call fire ants and those suckers got some teeth on them.

Welcome! Lets' see, 22 that was 60 years ago for me. I like fresh meat too,
but, I want it skinned first and barbecued.
Your you tube postings are interesting, I shoot a Savage Hunter with a 26 inch
barrel and muzzel brake, 7mm rem. loaded with a 162 gr hornaday btsp, pushed
by 60 gr of IMR 4831. Guided by a 10-20x50 scope. Set up on The G7 balistics
Calaulator. I shoot a 24 x 24 inch target at 1000 yds.
I wish you well and hope you are still shooting 60 years from now.

Hunterbob,
Since the weather has decided to turn COLD. I'm sticking to the reloading bench
and building a supply of projectiles to shoot down range, when it warms up.
Happy New year and may all your shots hit in the 10 ring.
