Ice Storm=No Hunting Today
« on: December 12, 2008, 10:21:00 AM »
Looks like Yard Work & No Hunting today, maybe a little knife work if the power holds.  Tree limbs are popping all around.  My truck didn't fare so well though...limb came right into the cab  :(  Doc

OUCH!  I bet you are glad you were not moving the truck at the time.

I think some knife R&D work is a GREAT idea...think Canada, eliptical blades, sheep horn...  :biglaugh:

We have 1" of slush under 8" of snow under 1" of ice and now it's snowing again Doc. I feel your pain. I had a hunt set-up for today myself.

I had that happen to my brand new car once when I still lived in RI. What a bummer! Now I only have to worry about 5 lb pinecones dropping out here in San Diego!

Heck, Jeff, I thought that first pick was you getting the last Christmas tree left at the sales lot.  Yep, at least you weren't in the truck when it happened, or worse yet, in the tree!

Ow, that hurts.  Looks like your insurance premium will be increasing in 2009.  Sorry for your pain, Doc.  If you need to sell one of your bows to ease the pain of higher insurance, you can "unload" that ol'e Longhorn with my name on it...  :bigsmyl:  

Best of luck with the repairs.

I feel your pain Jeff, we are in the same boat right now.......trees are down everywhere, 3/4 of our city is without power, public service is saying it will be days before it is all restored......I'm supposed to be off today to hunt, I came into work just so I could have a cup of coffee.
Funny thing is, it is starting to wind down here, squirrels and birds are all over the place, I think if you could get in the woods this afternoon it would be good.

David, Only problem getting in the woods this afternoon is limbs are still coming down plus gotta replace a lot of horse fencing! Important so the hunters that are in the woods aren't trying to tag Real Big Deer  :)  Doc...just getting power back!

Hoot...the Big free ranging doe  :eek:
