We were up in Dalhart Texas....which is about an hour north of Amarillo.....this past weekend. This was what they call "freezing fog". Dipping at 21f at night.

I rather be in Baja!

In northern Nevada, the Washo & Shoshone Indians (Native Americans) call it "Pogonip".....roughly translated means white death.

I don't usually drink when I'm hunting either. However last time I was after the geese I accidentally shot one of these:

It is my custom and rule to never drink any type of alcohol when hunting.

Fishing creates a certain conflict, however...and makes for some strange catches...

...like this nice [I]dog snapper[/I] my buddy caught in San Sebastian a few years back.. :rolleyes:
