Mid-Michigan weather report - lonehunter - 11-24-2005 Predawn found me getting my hunting clothes on , a quick look outside and I knew I woUld have a little bit of snow to contend with , boy was that an understatement . Normally a five minute walk to the state land turned into fifteen because of the whiteout conditions I encountered . Several times I had to wait a few minutes untill I had my bearings back , the snow was that bad . The two inches of snow the weatherman had predicted had turned to twelve within the three hours I hunted . I hit a few pinestands , trecked thru the cedar swamp and scoured a few oak laden hills looking for any signs of movement , any track found would have to be fresh and the stalking hunt would be on . Nothing ! Not one hoofmark , the closest thing to anything huntible was a grey squirlle , brave little guy too , it's bitter cold out in the woods . I didn't spook anything out of the blowdowns , couldn't see anything hunkering under the pine branches , in fact it was hard enough seeing my own tracks behind me after just a few minutes . Normally I would be either on the Manistee or Au Sable rivers this time of year steelhead fishing . I should have gone fishing instead . Fishing will come this weekend , for now , turkey and all the fixings are being prepaired as I type . Maybe this evenings hunt will produce some venison , cranberry sause I hear makes a great coverscent . [signature] |
