I have the itch watching NOAA changing the December forecast to add more warmth. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/seasonal.php?lead=2

Gonna be an open water winter like 11/12

The itch hits once the deer is hanging.

Nope don’t get the itch in January sure as hell don’t get it in October. It can stay warm

 

[BDub]

Warm is good. I've got lots of walleye in the freezer.

Skeeter, nothing personal but I hope you have to put pontoons on that thing to use it.

Nov and Dec are THE BEST times to be afield whether it's with a bow, rifle, or shotgun. Fishing can wait until hunting season is done. Fishing is 24/7/365, hunting for most is but a 10-12wk window when all seasons are open concurrently that is often complexified by kiddo stuff that doesn't as often disturb fishing.

Maybe I’m being selfish. I don’t hunt much, maybe an occasional pheasant here and there. No interest in deer season. I will settle for 3 or 4 inches after thanksgiving so I can at least walk out and ice fish.

Ahh the smell of two stroke oil exhaust in the morning. #Pike

How do you like your glacier ice house. I’ve been looking into getting one. Seems they are built better than an ice castle? Thoughts.

The axel system is a little bit heavier duty than castle and the nylon straps verses cable is a huge improvement. The fit and finsish and is about the same. I do use less propane in a three day trip with the glacier than I used to with the castle.
