north-central montana about 45 miles from canada, it's been five below here all day i went bunny huntin this mornin with my new ironwood longbow that i made. i shot 2 and had a good time, as for warm gear i wear carhart coveralls, 2 heavyweight carhart hoodies, irish setter boots with 1000 grams of thinsulate, wool long underwear, heavy wool socks and a wool stocking cap, for gloves i wear marmont gloves i think they have about 600 grams of thinsulate i take the glove off my hand that pulls the string when i shoot because thier too thick to shoot with. theres also about a foot of snow oon the ground and more coming.

You fellows have to have grit to get out and hunt in that. Last season, a guy in our club hunted all year in shorts with those rubber crocs on his feet! He is a bit odd though..... Our low last night was around 28. At least the skeeters have quit biting. :D

3 degrees this morning so I am sitting this one out! Last night I saw seven deer. They were 40 yards away on a ridge so I am going out this afternoon and setting up on that trail. It will warm up to 8 I hope.
H Rhodes:
Good luck and I sure admire your dedication. I worked last night and saw bucks chasing does most of the shift. The moon is pretty full and I have noticed that after a night like this that they may not move too much during the day - maybe a little around the middle of the day. The rut is just beginning here.

Just checked the weather and it looks like a heat wave 22 wow! I will take that and a south wind to boot. It looks perfect if they just pattern like last night.
