Title: Little crisp out this morning...
Post by: ShirtGuy77 on August 24, 2009, 09:11:25 AM: Man, I think someone in the neighborhood had a fire going last night I could smell, and a little chill this morning. Sure felt like the season is coming soon.

61 days until I pull out of here for Idaho elk...first scout trip is next week. Can't wait :IBCOOL:

As I was riding the motorcycle to work this morning I noticed that it was quite a bit more chilly than it has been on such a glorious sunny morn. Once at work/computer I checked some mountain planted weather stations. 35 degrees is the lowest I found.

Smells like huntin season!
