Temps Will Rise, Time To Hunt Some Tree Rats

[DirtTime]

Been a very cold few weeks after deer season ended. Temps will get a lot more tolerable for small game hunting. Looking forward to getting out this week and hunting some tree rats with rabbit as a "Target Of Opportunity".

Anyone else going to take advantage of the mild temps to get some small game in the freezer?

With temps soon rising...............my mother might be even more disgusted when I am preparing buckets of crappie, squirrel, and rabbit in her kitchen, than in the fall when I butcher my deer on her dining room table!

He's a kid that lives at home and probably (hopefully) in high school still. Jeez, Mom gets pissed when kids make a mess of the kitchen because they don't clean up or clean up good enough.

I got out today for a bit after a DR. appointment. Warm temps really loosened up the snow, little skid down the mountain and banged the hip on a rock, but kept the rifle from getting hurt. I didn't get any game, but realized who I have to ask permission for turkey and deer hunting now off the state land border for this spot. I use small game hunting this time of year to learn, killing a tree rat just means I have lunch. Temps in my area are going to mid 50's tomorrow, then some nasty precipitation with temps going back into the 30's and low-mid 20's.
