First Hunt Of The Year With My Secret Stuff Which Allows For Longer Hunts:devil:

[John-Edmonton]

I was all rested this morning, after a long hard 6 day stretch at work. I woke up, still darkness, temp -9 so I packed up my gear and went to Rotten Ronny's for Breakfast. A quick peak at the "GARRETT GALS" and a steak sandwich and I was off to do some serious snow-coin-shooting. The sun came out and it was a 10/10 kind of day!

After about 3 hours of hunting and working up a sweat transversing snow hills, I had to call it a day, as the hills were getting busy with those crazy guys and their various styles of snow machines. But I was far from being tired, because...........

I had a nice feast when I got up early some great home made jerky. You see my wifey bought me a jerky/food dehydrator for Christmas and I spent a few hours yesterday making 2 1/2 LBS of beef jerky. The first batch on the left is a hot jerky special spice and the other one is hickory flavor. It's just plain, clean healthy protein which gives you instant energy when you are starting to feel tired. I am drying a batch of pineapple slices, pears and apples tonite.

Life is good!

Pretty cold there John. I'm glad I don't have to hunt in snow like you do. Got the opposite problem. 41C tomorrow when I head out.
Don't let the missus find the Garrett girls or you'll be for it!

When the fever hits, you have to go dirt fishing. That jerky looks great, John. The first time I ate jerky or smoked fish I was amazed at how delicous it was and at the same time how bad it smelled. I saw some at the store I go to when I visit the river and it was 5.99 per lb for 1 flavor and 6.99 for another. It won't take long to pay off that dehydrator. Good luck in the snow and happy hunting.
