Snow Hunt - Joe n Jeff

[only1harry]

Wow very nice scenery!  thanks for sharing Jeff.  The snow makes it very picturesque.  
It doesn't matter that you didn't get shoot anything.  Just being out there away from home and the routine makes it exciting and relaxing at the same time and enjoyable to be with company -  especially Joe's I would imagine because who wouldn't want to be with someone with a red flaming cap and a big long shiny shroud?  That makes a very interesting person :-)  Who cares if that shiny LDC is visible by the animals from miles away? hehehe   Just kidding Joe!  

Loved the pics and I 'm sure it was a great outing regardles of the result.  I have not done that in the snow in a few years.  It's better when you have a buddy to go with.  All my friends have hung up their guns and are soccer (dads) or swimming coaches all of a sudden  :0  One of them even told me last weekend I don't like shooting animals anymore.. so it looks like I will be venturing out alone pretty soon into the 5,000 state acres near by.  Deer season is over so it should be safe..  I 'll bring my camera and take some pics of the area too.

Definitely, you guys are having great and memorable time together. That’s not the image of the harvested game that will be embedded in your memory, but the fact of the wonderful time you spent with friends. Now, if one day Jeff lets me in his hunting circle, you might have pictures of both of you together too

Joe, keep wearing that hat proudly. I believe that it’s not the color that worries the guys; it’s flames….. I agree with you 100%. It’s better to be seen by animals, than not seen by another hunter. I’ve got a Camo hat, but I’m wearing Hunter Blaze orange band over it. Most of the animals (not the birds) don’t see orange color anyway, tough I’m not sure about nutters.

Thanks Joe!

I'll see what I can swing next year!

This post reminds me of the "Me and Joe" stories Skeeter (Charles) Skelton , used to write in the "Shooting Times" magazine years ago. I enjoyed those as well.
