Cowboy Getting dressed up here right now means putting on the long johns,wool socks and I can't stay in the house dressed like that,Margie Anne likes it about 68 degree's in here in the cold season's,so we wear what we call our comfy's,polar fleece pant's,long sleeved t-shirt,cotton socks otherwise you'll broil in your outside clothes. 25 days outa 30 you wear rubber boots(X-tra tuff's) outside,(we call them Alaska tennis shoes) Raining today again, can't wait to get down south and out of the rain for a couple of months.When I hunt,I wear clothes that I can hunt in in the rain or wet snow and not get cold,or sweaty,under armour and micro-fleece stuff Yep,I do love to hunt in the snow Pappy,I like to track and doing it in the snow really let's you see what the critters are up to. On sat. Margie Anne and I saw the tracks of otters,pine marten,red squirrel,deer and innumerable birds. We did'nt see any brown bear tracks,makes me believe they are in the dens a little early this year,which usually means we're going to have an early and usually long snowy winter.What few deer we have left after the winter of "06/"07{We lost 80 to 90 percnt of the herd locally) aren't recovering too good,last winter was'nt close to mild either. Will probably hunt deer on prince of wales island next year for deer,unless we get a moose or a couple of caribou next sept.Then I will go hunt a buck just to get out of the house and keep my skills's up.
