That notorious and infamous rodent, Punxatawney Phil has seen his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter. He's safe but his relatives are another story.

Somebody should have shot that woodchuck as he raised his head to see out of the hole.
He would have never seem his shadow!
 
I've always been baffled by the "six more weeks" thing. February is a winter month so of course there'll be FOUR more weeks! The other two are what matter.
 
Take heart. He's wrong 60% of the time.

I mean, I'm in Georgia. I don't believe the Weather Channel half the time even when the big green clouds on the radar are swirling towards me.

What does an overgrown rat know about living on the Gulf Stream? They used badgers in the Old Country. Bet that was a lot more entertaining if it got grumpy.
 
Up here we take our marching orders from a marmot, not a groundhog. (It's official! Look it up!)

And 6 weeks? Bring it on. That seems like too little; I like winter. (y)
+1 on liking winter! We have 7" here from last night and today. That's just foreplay! I WANT TWO FEET!
 
Hmm, we don't have groundhogs here in Colorado, only prairie dogs. Well, there are marmots in the rocks at the top of the mountains that look kind of like groundhogs? I've never seen an actual groundhog in person. Guess I need to travel more?
 
Today is my favorite "Holiday"

I knew we would have 6 more weeks of winter from looking out the window.
40" of snow out the front door since early December.

"Winter last long time this high up....can't cheat the mountain pilgrim."

"Happy Groundhog" everyone!

I’m in Georgia too, and I mean do we really have winter by most standards? I cut my AC back on tonight. Lol

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
