Beard ice, both of us:
The usual, 1-2 hour winter run. No ticks at -47, but, I was glad when it was over.
Just me, but Id rather hunt in really cold weather, than really warm weather. The heat is hard on dogs, my Setters are fine in severe cold as long as they dont get wet.
I did chip a horn forend tip on a Darne, shooting at a pattern board at well below zero. I think twice about that, now. My Dad refinished the stock on a Beretta O/U, glossy ureathane, filled all the pores, rubbed down between coats, glossy as hell.
One side shattered like glass on one of those days.
Still prefer the cold, however.
Best,
Ted
