Derrick,
Looks like we are in for another cold spell until later in the week.
Sounds like you need a helmet cam - camcorder in your back with attached helmet cam attached to your hat, collar, etc. I'll bring my camera and video - you can be the shooter and arrow retriever! Are your dogs trained up to fetch arrows??
I went on a hike in Skooumchuck Creek last Thursday. The ground was frozen except for a film of mud on top. Made for real tough walking. My wife got me trek poles for Christmas and they worked very well.
Does the chukar season run thru the end of the month?
Cheers,
Mike
