Freezing

This weekend was Illinois muzzleloader season and it was pretty cold. Friday I went out and sat from sun up til sunset and didnt see a single deer. Saturday morning i woke up and it was pouring down rain so i slept til maybe 7 and then the rain let up a little so i headed out. I got in the stand at 7:45 and sat all day and still didn't see anything. I did manage to get soaked though. Sunday I went out again and finally saw some deer but nothing big enough that i wanted to shoot. It was a pretty crappy weekend

ice

I just got off the phone with my boss and he says most of the holes down at the duck club are froze up. The ice isnt very think but it is a pain i the butt. If the hole is covered in ice there is no where for the birds to land so you have to go walk around infront of the blind and bust up the ice to make a hole. Also just getting to the blind through the ice is a workout.
