Woke up this morning for the third time. Finally some light outside and frost on the bedroom window. Should I or shouldn't go hunting today? The answer was YES! It was cold enough to freeze the nuts off a brass monkey (I ain't kidding, Google it)! But, my usual cut off for hunting is -15C + a deep desire to hunt, which was the case today. It's been about 2 weeks since I last hunted.....way too long!

I headed to one of my many favorite snow hills, and did a couple trips up and down the hill. The snow was anywhere from 4-5" to12", depending on the whether the snow was packed of not. I took the Scorpion Snow Stinger as my weapon of mass trash reduction today. I tucked a hot pack under the housing, slipped a wool sock on it then covered it with the camo cover. Worked like a charm.

I thought I was the only nut case on the hill, but I was joined by others too.

Well my Snow Stinger lasted longer then I did. I was getting small icicles on my mustache and beard.....a logical explanation that some warm temperatures are needed soon. I headed out to one of my favorite hamburg places "HARVEY'S" and had a couple of grilled burgers and onion rings. A darn good meal it was.

And I was surprised to get as much loot as I did. Check it out below.

as much as i would love to be out digging coins and other goodies, there is no way i'm going to be out in 5 degree weather doing it. i admire your determination for hunting in this weather, but for me it's time to research potential new sites for the upcoming season. good luck and happy hunting..............roger

How do you keep those batteries from running down own you
in that cold weather. I'm referring to the Gold Stinger of course.

I use those hot pacs or hand warmers as they are called. I just put one under the housing, and cover it up with a sock and camo cover.
