Last Day of Deer Season

[red rick]

This is the last day of deer season . I went out to warm my truck up and my nose froze together when I took a breath , it's 6 degrees . I think I am crazy to still hunt today , but it is the last day until Nov. . I know it is colder in other parts of the country and I don't know how you take it , yes I know about layering , but sitting still it's brutal out there . I will see how long I can take it , I hope the wind does not blow . It will have to be a big one for me to take my hands out of my gloves to skin it .

Good luck out there man. I hope your effort and commitment is rewarded.

You're a better man than I. It's in the high 20s and low 30s here and I'm going to sit out today due to wind a cloudless sky.

Well the temperature reading I got from my computer before I left the house was wrong , it was O degrees and the wind started blowing pretty good about 10:00 am . It was ruff out there , my fingers are tingling and stiff now as I type and my toes are almost back to feeling normal and my face is bright red and a little numb .

I didn't get a deer today but I saw about 6 or 7 does running together . All week does were in , but I don't shoot them . Now it is on to rabbits to the end of February .

Hey, you gave it your best effort under difficult conditions.

Driving a few farms in the morning and sitting a farm with 400 acres of non hunting surrounding it in afternoon. Just looking for a big doe and tomorrow will probably end my 2017-2018 season. I have until feb 10 to deer hunt but I'll probably quit this weekend. Good luck to all still hard at it.

Bunnies!
I've been walking around the neighborhood, dragging the kids in a sled, getting ready for rabbit season. Tomorrow I take the clay thrower out to practice with the over/under. Can't wait. Bunnies! Garlic Bunnies, yeah.

I wish we had some around here I haven't seen one in years. Hawks are over populated and coyotes too.

Red Rick,

I was out in Va, The Shenandoah Valley area, on Saturday as well. It was brutal! I had 4 layers on, but by the time I went in, 4 weren't enough. I passed up a decent 4 point and a very nice looking doe just because I didn't want to deal with the process after the shot. I like even numbers, but the cold made me content with 3 whitetail for the 2017-18 season!
