I feel bad for the Montana mule deer. Not only did they get pounded again by long seasons, rifle rut hunt, and heritage muzzy, but now an arctic blast and deep snow. Expecting next year to be the worst year yet.
It’s been that way since I was a kid. But yeah next year will be bleak. Bios will still find a bunch of deer somewhere to support their failing managementI feel bad for the Montana mule deer.

I'll say this; I had an F150 Powerboost (hybrid model) last year and used it to hunt elk in SoCO in some nasty snow. It pulled someone out of a small drainage next to the road, going uphill in the snow. I swear by that powertrain.Hybrids run on gasoline... And EV perform very poorly in cold temps. Their ranges are cut way down due to battery performance and using energy to keep the cabin warm. I presume you can plug them in to warm up off the power grid vs battery if you don't have a garage.
I've never heard of gasoline freezing up, diesel will gel, but not gas. Water in your tank/lines, may freeze but rarely these days with ethanol mixes.
Yeppers,, I was that guy for 5-6 years. First guy out the door and last one in while others have coffee. Got the frostbite on my face to prove it. The other spots are my own doing i love itMost major operations with diesel equipment will leave everything idling 24/7 below -20. It's no fun being the only mechanic trying to cold start 20 or 50 diesel engines in those temps.
Wasn’t supposed to start here until noon and it’s already going.The snow has started...here we go !!!!!!
Been there also.
Trying to keep water troughs thawed for a few thousand milk cows in these temps is a miserable job. People don't realize that a day of low water intake can change the volume of milk a cow produces for potentially months or until she is fresh again (Has another calf).
I imagine winter got old on a MN dairy farm.Yep, I grew up on a dairy farm west of Duluth MN. Just an all-around miserable place to farm between long and cold winters and poor soils.
Fond memories of doing that when I was a kid.Had the sauna hot last night and rolled in the snow. Will do again this evening when air temps are colder. Tough to beat:

Nothing like a good sweat. Hands down better than a hot tub imo.
I have been threatening to build one for the last few years.Yep, we grew up with it. Bought this one on sale as a kit from Costco in 2019. Prices are damn near double now.
Same here. Can't wait for the bottom to drop out of the 18" of snow here.
Your fair city might actually have to clear the streets instead of piling it in the middle.Predicted low this week is -6 but then somehow up to low 40’s with rain next week. The slush and ice should be just nasty
I was amazed yesterday how well plowed the road was to and from the city shopYour fair city might actually have to clear the streets instead of piling it in the middle.

What sort of heat source does yours have?
I thought about it, but the power requirements are pretty high. 240v 50 amp?Harvia 8kw electric heater. It can hit 200+ at head level when conditions are good.
Be fun to be able to hunt their flight paths where they are finding all these deer, it sounds like some mythical Serengeti that the rest of us aren’t allowed into I guessIt’s been that way since I was a kid.
