B23:

Got a note from a fellow hunter near Boise a couple days ago.

"almost no snow this winter, when you got that 4" in Pueblo we
had the same 4", since then just a few dustings and inch or so
plumb dry around here, very rare".

IF' you're gonna go, it'd be a good time.

Nice!. We still have 3 feet of snow in the fields and up to yesterday it was still running -25 for a daytime high, still going to -20 at night but day time it is up to freezing this weekend. Going to be a month or two before any gophers show up around here.

Looks like you are having fun with those Kimbers. Saw a woodchuck or two out here the last two days. We don't have the numbers here we used to so I don't shoot them until memorial day when the little ones are self sufficient. Snowing again today so even that would be a no go.

Our rats are starting to poke their little rodent heads up too, but with the 3 FEET of snow we had here a couple of weeks ago, some has settled and melted, but all the fields are a virtual mud-bog now. The ranchers are not fond of our 4x4's out making field ruts.

Some sunshine and warm temps sure would help. Mother Nature.....are you listening? I've got powder and bullets destined for Skippy and his pals and am starting to go through withdrawals! :eek:

I’m getting excited about the season also! Thanks for the pictures.

Now that it is warming up a little, I have to finish reloading, to be completely ready for some shooting.

Warming up here now, still lots of snow and our Columbia Ground Squirrels don't come out until the end of April, then go down before 24th August. Trying to get in a lot of fishing and shooting - well, one of them suffers. I do love fishing.
