But Dave. We both know that, looking back on that type of weather provides the most satisfying remembrances. I can think of many snotty situations suddenly forced to endure, and when all is said and done, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Much more than the Bluebird days, in shirtsleeves.
That's it. Bad weather provides the most enduring memories.
I literally have a million of them but once, imagine four of us crammed into a cab all night with a storm howling, unable to go another yard. And, four of us trying to sleep; what a joke that was! Of course the tents were the furthest towards the front of the camper since they were packed first. Throwing all our shit out onto the snowbanks and setting up n the cold wind just didn't seem like a good idea.
At daylight, there were deer all around us, we all scored, I think by 8 o'clock and spent a fair amount of the morning and early afternoon butchering some nice bucks. So, that part was not so great, it was the torture, the cold cramped night, and you get the picture. Hunt was over before it hardly started, then there was no need to spend a week, as planned. Somehow, we had an idea; let's call some coyotes!
Lots of times, the story is the weather, in whatever form. The perfect trips, not so much. Yeah, I'm a wuss too, but when caught by the situation, and surviving, that's what you remember long after.
Good hunting. El Bee
PS I'm at Shelley's for turkey. Long trip, and Pinky wouldn't shut the hell up so I put him in the back. Covered him with a rug which he chewed to pieces but couldn't pull it off him. Too bad, asshole! Corey will do the turkey, something called a split breast, I believe? Shelley is doing the Chinese pork loin and I will attempt the family tradition, Scalloped Corn. Pinky's been behaved since we got here , once he saw the turkey in the freezer....you know that old joke? ha

Thanks guys...enduring memories, indeed!
That was kinda the point of that hunt. I figured, either way, it was gonna be an experience to be out there in the woods!
Couple tags to fill yet, and the weather looks alot more tolerant!
