RIPP:

We never got the snow you got, just the cold, and that a few degrees warmer than you.

{This pic was actually taken a couple weeks ago.}

A little drizzle the last few days.

This spot I cleared with a bolo knife and dug into of the side of the mountain with a pulaski, scooped out like a reclining chair, enough to sit in so's I don't wind up unintentionally at the bottom. I'll dig in some shooting sticks to help with the sitting position a shot will {hopefully...} be taken from. If I had time I'd set up my Caldwell Lead Sled...

Lots of fresh sign on the fringe between the tall timber and the regen, my boot pointing to the general line of possible shots, a few below in the regen also. There should be...I saw a nice big buck up there. I hope he didn't get bumped off during elk season...

Muzzle of the rifle points to my place. I can actually keep an eye on the ole homestead while perched up on the top here.
