Monte,
There are places to hunt that are lower in elevation and less likely to hard freeze. Our new location is less friendly to quick trips so I imagine I'll have more time this winter around the wood burning stove and will look forward to spring like many others.
I'll try to keep an eye on the forum and imagine a few like zilcoln and Del & Patsy that live in more hospitable locations can continue to hunt.
