Thats amazing you went out in that cold. And found something like that. Congrats

it is a little amazing.....and also dumb of me to walk way out a block and half through snow just to get to that midden with only a t-shirt and a hooded sweatshirt on...that wind bites and makes our eyes water

anyway i dot to do my first legitimate nature dance of the year and it was the first time i used my new mahogany stick

i took some dirt images also which i can post if you wanna do a virtual hunt
