I don't recall 0 degrees feeling this chilly 30 or so years ago? For all of US (including me), let's go sit in the stand 4-5 hours and remember how we feel when we are complaining about 50 degrees next November! LOL,bundle up!

I made it half the day today. Saw a 1 or 2 walking out and that was it. Tommorrow morning doesn't look much better.
I think the wife and I are going to call it and just eat the tag sandwich.

-6.7°F here this am. That means around -20°F wind chill. Nope, memories of hunting in below zero temps are good enough for me, I don't have to experience it again to remember what it was like.

As we get older do we get lazier or wiser? I don’t hunt when it is this cold anymore.

Just got home from work, shows -8deg in NE LaPorte county.
I work in South Bend, and normally have a 50mi limit on road service. Was out on 2 road calls for froze up semi's tonight. One was east, Bristol at 2deg, 2nd was west, Gary at -3deg.
Saw a lot deer out from 4pm on. Glad I got all my deer earlier in good weather. Have no interest in being out any more than I have to, since having to work in it sometimes.

I drove around all my fields around 540pm and didn't see a single deer last night. Thought for sure they would be up and moving.

I remember a lot of days hunting quail and rabbits in sub-zero weather. But I don't think that I want to be sitting still out there.
They'd likely find me there come spring thaw!!
