A-FIXER.............
Coupla modest suggestions for your consideration:
-Might be a good idea to take along a coupla calls. Reed-type rabbit squeals, close-in squeakers, whatever. And even if you don't, you can still "smooch" them in with your lips (like calling your dog), provided you don't do it too loud nor too long. Just a little mouse squeak w/your lips. I've used it a couple of times to good effect when out in the woods, saw coyotes, and didn't have a call.
-When your wife is not around, you might want to snitch a white sheet off the bed for cover. [Dirty gray sheets won't work as well; too much human scent.] Anyhow, with all this snow, the white cover will work in your favor. Probably better than Mossy Oak, in this Season of the Deep Snows.
Finally, I really envy you. Just bought a brand-new Marlin XL-7 in .30-06 at Guns A-Plenty, primarily for coyotes, deer, antelope. [Don't snicker. That Marlin out of the box will give Remingtons, Winchesters, and Brownings a good run for the money in the accuracy department. Needs to be sighted-in and otherwise fine-tuned.]
However, there has been just too much snow to get out. Anywhere. All the side roads are choked up. You can't even see the roads; just a vast expanse of unmarked snow. The bar ditches are five feet deep in snow drift and just waiting to eat up 4-wheelers when you miss the road.
Couldn't even get out for the Late Rifle season that's going on now.
All this and the Gun Grabbers have a majority in both houses.
Good luck and Good Shootin'.
