Anybody hunting in this coldddddd weather?

[South Man]

Just wondering as I have a friend out today and he shot a doe. It's pretty rough out! Anybody going hunting this weekend?

If you’re hunting this morning my hats off to you. Check your action and firing pin to make sure they aren’t frozen they can freeze with temps like we’re experiencing.

All my guns are snuggled into a warm safe.

Mine as well but there are more hardcore folks than I out there making it happen I’m sure.

Wouldn’t there have to be moisture for the firing pin to freeze?

The deer dont care how cold it is but I sure do

There does and it’s more prevalent than you might imagine. It doesn’t take much to lock up a firing pin. I’m fastidious about keeping my guns clean and it’s happened to me a time or two over the years. Usually in some place other than Georgia. Single digits are a good time to experience it.

I'm not that mad at em anymore

They have moved really good at the house the last two days. But I’m watching them through the living room window, not from a stand.

The only hunting I'm doing is hunting for firewood off the wood pile and hunting for leaves in the pool that try to block the skimmer.

This is the bow hunting department, firing pin is a non issue...

Then this would be my first ever post in the bow hunting section. The title caught my eye.

If the firing pin is close fit to the action it would be possible but it would have to be much colder than here. I have hunted at 10 below zero and colder and not experienced that. If that happened to me I would be looking at the lubricant or something other than the metal freezing up

Had it not of been Christmas Eve & Day, he would’ve been in the bed of my truck.

Merino wool is worth the price tag, ladies.

Anyone hunting Friday or Saturday is hard core. I had to go to the Kroger Sat to pick up a script. I think it was about 10" - almost froze on the 60 yard walk from the truck to the store.

I sat in it, once the walk in warmth wore off things got real! Spit froze pretty quickly on the blind mesh. Didn’t shoot a decent deer after thinking too long about having to skin it out!
