    It ain't cold enough out there to die overnight - this may end up where the cops use that euphemism "not seeking anyone else" or another of their code phrases

    I won't second guess how these fellahs met their end but I think that if someone was wet ( even damp from excessive perspiration climbing a hill ) and the wind chill factor was high enough then the disorientation from succumbing to hypothermia and the shutting down of the body as it tried to keep vital organs warm could well contribute to death in a short period like overnight.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    It isn't just Brad's Dundee. If I was cold and recognised the onset of hypothermia and you were handy you would be surprised how quickly you would become my belly warming bitch.

    And that is why you're always hunting alone...
