2010 Minnesota Whitetail

[Woodchuck]

those deer back there sure got some thick coats, i bet it gets colder than a well diggers butt back there

I grew up in northern MN and yes, yes it does. We would leave deer shot on opening day hang for the whole season with no issues, in fact usually frozen stiffer than a board.

Yes, I've sat many days on the deer stand in below zero weather, usually late in the rifle season or during muzzle loader season and December bow season. But it deer hunting so it's worth it.

Woodchuck, Where in northern MN are you from?  I live in Carlton and hunt mostly in southern St Louis County.

Jackmaster, Just wear heavy gloves or use a hand muff with a hand warmer in it.  I have had my bloody hand stick to my rifle barrel after gutting out my buck though. 

Gotta go guys, Time to to hit the bow stand.  It's beautiful here today, sunny and in the mid 50s (above zero)!

Woodchuck - that's way up there alright!!  Good walleye fishing too!

Yes indeed, I miss it sometimes but then the thought of checking calves in the middle of the night and the thermometer in the barn reading -50 usually shakes it off.
