WHAT THE HECK?
« on: December 21, 2008, 08:52:00 AM »
Hey this just ain't right.  I was pig hunting last night and it was 64 degrees and it dropped when the sun went down to 41 when I finally got home.

It's 19 with a windchill of 2 degrees F.

I packing my stuff and dog and headed south.  The dang Democrats cure global warming and started an iceage.

How the heck do you north guys hunt in this?

LOL

It's a good day to re-arrange things in the shop. At 2 degrees like it is here right now with a forcasted high of 6 to 10 I'll wait for a better day. Weather man just said wind chill is -16.

Thankfully our antlerless season is open until Jan. 31st and We can still take a Buck up to Dec.31st. There will be better days. I have clothes to keep Me warm but My problem is I can't keep My eyes from watering when it's this COLD.

As soon as I get out of church here in a few hours, about noon, I am strapping on my Sitka Gear and heading to the stand.  

I have been waiting for this in the late season.  This cold will spur on a feeding need and the big boys can't stay locked down in this cold weather.  Heading to an interior feeding source near a bedding area(honeysuckle and briar patch) and waiting.  

Even if you can only take it for a few hours...this is a good day to take a mature whitetail.

Snowing two days straight the warmest it's been is 10 degrees not counting what the wind chill has made the actual temperature. We're expecting another 5-8" of snow this afternoon and another 5-8" tonight with more snow tomorrow.

Isn't it great, if the weather gets really cold, the Global Warming Lemmings say it's a sign of warming, if it gets really hot, it's a sign of Global Warming. If we have more than usual hurricanes, it's Global Warming, less than normal hurricanes, it's Global Warming. They sure cover their bases don't they ? This has to be the biggest scam ever foisted upon the world.And Al Gore is making millions upon millions off of it.

All you guys are in a heat wave right now. -3 deg actuall temp with a -29.5 deg windchill here this morning.

The only global warming that takes place is when Al Gore opens his mouth.

The other group of climate "scientists" will publish in the next journal that we are headed to a mini iceage!!! I'm old enough to remember this during the 1970's.  Fact is they don't know and cannot prove any of it... It's all about directing lifestyles and of course money!!!

Woke up to 5 degrees with below 0 wind chill.. Yes I do love cold weather.. I lived in Texas and can't believe people live in that heat and humidity...  LOL

Stay warm down there Wingnut...

Last week we had a massive ice storm. We lost power for 3 days. Some folks are still without power.  I missed the final weekend of deer season because we were staying with my brother. I did get a chance to go out Monday 12/14 in the afternoon after restarting my furnace and water system which I had drained. Friday we got about 12 inches of snow. Saturday was clean up day though we got at least another inch then. Today, we are due for 8-10 inches more. Wingnut, to answer your question. What I do  in this weather is sit on my recliner and watch TV. I am looking forward to the Pats and then the Celtics. I may stain bow and make some shafts. Technically, it's not Winter yet.  I'm not even going to church. I can deal with the cold but I wait for the snow to stop before heading into the woods. I dress in layers with no cotton t shirt near my skin.  I put on polypro or duo underwear (sometimes both) followed by a sweat shirt and a wool shirt or sweater. If it's windy I'll put on a nylon jacket with a camo shirt over it. I much prefer NH's early season which starts 9/15. Once mid November rolls around keeping warm is a battle. Jawge

-3 here right now with a windchill of -20. The high is supposed to be 6 with the wing blowing around 30-35mph. It wouldnt be so bad except for the 3/4" of ice on top of everything. I went to the woods and left...Way to many limbs falling to feel safe...

I hear ya' JDS3. I remember back in the 70,s. They scared the hell out of people telling them that it would get colder and colder. Now it's hotter and hotter. The proven point is, there's money in scaring dumbasses. The sad thing, if you question them, they tell you the argument is over, it's a proven fact and we should get over it.. Remember the hole in the ozone ? I guess it just healed itself because they no longer claim it to be a problem.
