It sure isn't nothing like last winter (mild in comparison), I've only hunted a handful of times this year cause I prefer it to be at least 28 degrees or warmer, I'll probably be out in the woods Wednesday though, good hunting for sure :thumbsup:

Not concerned huh. I bet those bozos on tv think about this hobby in the same light. LOL ;)

I tried the other day but I just can't used to the idea that I cannot just decide to go do regardless of the weather. Not anymore anyway. :( Kinda sucks, but, at least I got more time to go hunting! :)

I wonder how cold is too cold for the fine wires in a coil? Seems like they might break if bumped at some point. :dontknow:

WTG!

HH!

Nupe, believe it or not, I know you too well. I've watched you on video, remember? LOL

Just seems like they must not care much what people think either, that's all. :)

It's all good!

That is way to cold. My machine may work in it, but i will not and that is by choice. I enjoy the outdoors and cold weather but -45 is rediculously cold.
