Our kids stop going outside for recess when it is below 0. A week of -20 during winter is not unheard of.
I guess the MN guys that live farther north than I do experience colder.

Got a cold front coming though Sunday and rifle season starts Saturday along with a cold front. hopefully I can get a buck on the ground [b What do you consider a cold from down there in Georgia? Same as they are anywhere else. lol I live in North Georgia, so it does get cold if you were referencing to that. Right now it is about 70 degrees with a low of 57. Sunday will be down to 38 with a high of 57 after a good soaking on Saturday [/quote] 38, shit I don't put on a tee shirt that has sleeves, and then they are short sleeves till it hit's 40. Once it hits freezing the long sleeves come out or maybe a sweatshirt. We're tough old bastards up here. When I bought my Harley it was Jan. 19th. Rode it home 55 miles in 5 degree weather. Long john top, tee shirt and leather jacket, gloves and a stocking cap.

Do you own land in Georgia or lease or hunt public? What kind of buck do you hold out for? I live on just under 100 acres. I don't lease right now. If I could find a proper club, Id join in a heartbeat. Most clubs around here are overcrowded, overpriced, overhunted, and understocked and lack proper management if you know what I mean. Im pretty picky when it comes to what Ill shoot. Or patient, depends on how you look at it. I probably have higher expectations than what I should for my area, and this amount of land. We do produce some very nice deer in this county for it to be a ridge and valley region. 130" deer is considered nice here, but they get a lot bigger. With that said 3.5 year is also a mature deer here cause folks just cant let them walk. I mean we get 12 tags, 10 antlerless, 2 bucks, must be 4 on at least one side. Youd think folks were starving at some of the things that get shot around here lol. But hey, to each their own, right? To answer your question, first I look at the rack. I know Im backwards by Grant Woods standards, but lets be honest, that's what were after. And I don't have the luxury of growing deer like him, though I do try. If he is at least 3.5 and has a nice rack, I wont have a problem taking him. If hes under 3, Ill give him a pass regardless of his rack. If hes 4 and above and expresses poor genetics, Ill take because by that time he should be showing some promise. And of course any mature deer over 130. Ill pass on cull deer early season, but if they are still around near start of the rut, Ill probably clear him out. I want 4 year olds with 160" racks, but its hard here Now Ive only been on this land 5 years and have had to run off a lot of trespassers, added food plots, feeders, water, cover and bedding opportunity. Passed on a lot of deer those years and it has made a difference Most of us are on small tracks of land like yours. We do many of the same things for habitat.

I got to give the guy a chance. We've given him a lot of shit and he's given a little back. I just wish he'd get a little more involved in other post. I do a litte. Try to stick to what appeals to me and where I can help. Plus there is a lot of stuff that I cant respond to without rehashing what has already been said Do one on creating buck beds.....that always stirs the pot a bit. .

Question for foggy. When you are old enough that the best you can do is pee on your shoes, can you claim it is rub urinating and then call yourself a mature buck? First I found this thread. I'm pretty proud when I am able to hit my shoes Art. I do pretty good a rub urination. .

I won’t post a video! Too much for young guys to understand.
