I am winter coyote hunting in the remaining weeks of winter in northern NH. (Anyone else out there winter coyote hunting?) We still have 2-3 feet of snow on the ground and even more in the woods. I've buried the snow machine a few times already and digging out a 2-up isn't fun! Now in mid-March the snow is setting up nicely for riding on top at night or early in the morning with the day temps rising above freezing while the night temperature are still dropping into the single digits. That also means it is maple sugaring season here in New England!
I don't think I have any new Winchester lever actions to report on. No room in the safe anyway.
Update on Daily: My lab "Daily" has beaten all the odds! She had cancer surgery last February and unfortunately they didn't get it all. Last May I posted that I found more tumors and the vet gave her only "2-3 weeks to 2-3 months" to live. I am very happy to tell you that Daily still is with me, still doesn't want to go out the door without a retrieving dummy in her mouth, and is very eager to retrieve her dummies in the snow no matter how deep it is!!!
She still has the cancer, and quite possibly at this point in time living on more heart and memories than good health, but her heart is big and she won't quit. She loves winter just like I do. She wants to be outside all the time! When she is inside her favorite place to sleep still is on my feet under my desk, and I will miss that terribly someday.It's good to be back, guys! I trust all of you are doing well and moving those beautiful old Winchesters off the shelves!

PS: I have a number of unanswered PMs. Please accept my apology. I will get to them.
