Hunting season at ...
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!

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

21F above is what the Mandan Souix call...Summer. 
Below is ...brisk.

Gavin, a young hunter chimes in...

I don't drink either. Forgive rude people, It's Christmas."

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..
