Oh, so close and oh so cold...

I decided to skip out of work early today and head to the club. It is supposed to be "Arctic" tomorrow (windy and super cold) so I wanted to try to get some woods time. I got to the club and into stand 10 by around 2. It was about 24 degrees which wasn't so bad, but the wind was howling...that went right through me, but I was good. It started to snow and it was beautiful. Just at dusk I had a doe in the thickets to my right. She was so close to me, around 10-15 yards but in the thickets I couldn't get a shot. She just had to take a few more steps towards me...but instead she turned to her right and headed off behind me. Grrrr. By the time it got dark, I was really cold and shaking.
