Spring 3 weeks away... What a wonderful thought! We have had a relatively mild winter,but still have at least a month of it left. Snowing right now.
About 6 weeks till I can put out bear bait (4-15), but near 2 months before I can realisticaly(sp?) expect to start seeing bears. That's our turkey season I guess....

I hate to mention it to you fellows up north, but it is 70 degrees here today, sunshine & not much wind. It would be a good day to shoot, but I am stuck in the office ---- Tax Season. Will get a break about April 15.

This time of year for me, bad weather is almost welcomed. Makes it easier to stay hooked to this desk.

WT, I'll be happy to give some of those pretty FA's a workout on your home range until you can get out and shoot for yourself!

I got 2 turkey tags in SD. I didn't draw a turkey tag here in the Big Horn Basin, but I can buy a general tag in the Black Hills. So if I fill out early in SD I might get a turkey tag and give that a go.

Bear will open may 1st here, not much chance of getting a black but I'll buy a tag just in case I run across one. There was an article in the Cody paper this week that said some of the bears are already coming out of there dens. Seems a bit early but maybe there as ready for spring as I am.

Then theres the varmints!!!!! Rock chucks are my favorite but picket pins and PD's will get there share of shooting.

Better get the rest of my loading done!

I am about ready for it to start warming up here in the Missouri Ozarks. Snow is probably over for this year, at least in any quantity. Robins and Buzzards are back, which is a good sign Spring is here. Geese have been flying over, and I have noticed the deer are breaking back up into smaller groups. I had been seeing groups of 6 to 12 out in fields. Turkeys seem to have made it through the Winter ok this year. I have been seeing several. I see one group of probably 40 in a field down by the creek about every day. I have not been seeing very many Coyotes around.
With the weather warming up, our Defensive Pistol and Rimfire Bench Rest Matches should perk up again. We have lots of older guys who shoot in them, and most are smart enough to stay home when it is real nasty out. I am in the group who is not all that smart, I make every match, rain or shine.
I was at the range yesterday afternoon looking over a spare steel clanger about a foot square we have with no mounting points. I think I will get a stand for it in the works, and get a couple mounting points welded on the back and put it up at 100 yards on the range. Spring is project time.
