Just awesome pictures! I especially like the two with the mountains and the clouds intermingling.

What kind of temp's do you guys experience while hunting?

Ditto on the pics. Really nice country.

RE: Temps. Must be fairly warm or they'd be wearin' nylons. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif (figgered I could get away with that as sako is in NZ and I'm safely tucked away in an unlocatable place in Idaho /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif)

Its summer here still i think /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

That hunt the temp was between 0c and 20c depending on the time of day.We dont have predators in our bush.The biggest killer would be rivers and exposure to the elements.Even though im always in shorts we always go prepared as it can snow anytime of the year.We are usually a good days walk from the car too /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

You two were great in that movie, "The Full Monty!" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[/ QUOTE ] Ok I guess I have yet to hit my head hard enough to become a Hard bloke yet. I dont get the coats combined with shorts. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Oh well. Give me a few years and a few more trips down the hill and I will get there. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
