It has been a great winter.

During a recent two day outing to Maryland's Eastern Shore Wayne (L) and I (not shown 'cause I am behind the camera) hunted with Merle and Bob B. (l-r) on Friday and the Maryland Traditional Longbow Hunters on Saturday.
Saturday was a blast watching the hunters try to shoot a cottontail with a longbow. It is estimated more than a hundred shots were fired without a hit.

This picture was taken recently (January 2011) by me on the High Plateau of The Allegheny.
It seems to be much more difficult to get a good picture than it is to shoot one.
The stick in front of his face is the only problem.

Sometimes it gets a little cooler than this on the High Plateau. The coldest morning I remember was a minus 14 degrees.

Andy's Nellie during a day on the High Plateau. Nellie does a more than outstanding job chasing the Omnipotent Snowshoe Hare. She is tireless, big voiced and you know when Nellie opens her mouth there is a Hare on the run.
The 2011 "Extreme Season" has been outstanding with lots of snowshoe Hare to chase and fine winter weather. The only downside is LTC Patch is missing in action since January 26th. Some three weeks as I write these words. Patch is sorely missed on our trips to the High Plateau. Since her first trip to the Adirondacks in 2001 she has been a fixture on all our hunts with her high energy and big bugling voice and always one of the first to find a fresh track.
