Warm winter

[Peeps]

I'm sure liking how the weather had been so far this winter. No snow here yet and temps getting up into the 40's on a consistent basis is good news for the deer heading into the winter months. I hope it continues as our herd needs the break especially in northern Wisconsin. I do like ice fishing but I like deer even more.

Same here, I will gladly have a short ice fishing season for a mild winter. Of coarse last year there was to much ice and snow to fish

X3 I'll take a shorter ice fishing season in exchange for a mild winter for the deer.

This year was a bumper crop for acorns. Old wives tales has it that this is an indicator of a long hard winter. I hope its wrong.

It's supposed to be a very strong El Nino this winter, we are getting rain this week instead of snow.

I have insurance against it. I sold my snow plow business after last winter. That guaranteed this would be a mild winter. If I still had the business I would have banked 40k with 0 expense so far. The guys who bought me out think they hit the lotto. I don't have the heart to tell them there is a long way to go and the next 9 winters will be brutal. Basically I sold my business so the deer could have a mild winter. Drastic times called for drastic measures.
