Last day of rabbit season here in Mn. and the temps hit a balmy 11 degrees with a 15mph wind. Donned a few layers of colonial clothing, grabbed extra mittens and hat put on winter mocs and Ojibwa style snowshoes and hit the trail. Snow was anywhere from 12-18 inches probably deeper in the low spots and drifts. Really out of shape and only covered about three quarters of a mile today but felt great to be outside in this heat wave ( two days before it was -33 ) only saw one rabbit ( no other critters except a crow sighted today ) head shot at about 25 yards with a .440 roundball out of my riflegun and back home to the cabin. I'm going to make up a better blanket roll with belts instead of cordage so I can both gain access and put away my matchcoat easier. breaking trail just heats a body up too much then the wind from along the lake cuts chills you to the bone when you stop. All in all a nice flintlock kind of day.
