Title: Suggestions after some nasty weather
Post by: Torrent50 on December 10, 2014, 07:59:25 PM: What's the consensus opinion on what the critters will be doing after a nasty day of wind and rain like tomorrow is supposed to be? I would think that they would be out moving around a bit more, but what has your experience been?

x2 big wind and heavy rain bring them out of the nasty crap they love..bring a chain saw in case you have to cut your way back out of an area...
