Snow!

Yesterday the weatherman here said that the windchill was 12 degrees above zero. He wasn't kidding. It was cold- the kind of cold that cuts right through to your core and makes you wish you were at home on the couch. But it was the opening weekend of muzzleloader season and we had fresh snow. There would be no way I could pass up such an opportunity. I started the day with the first morning light as I watched a coyote work his way across an open corn field. He had a bit of urgency in his stride and I knew that he thought it was uncomfortably cold too. I ended up seeing several deer in the morning but none presented me with a shot. I thoroughly enjoyed being out there though; the fresh blanket of snow adds a whole new element of serenity to the woods. I didn't end up tagging a deer yesterday but don't worry, there's still lots of season left!
