BOW HUNTING, EARLY NOVEMBER Wind gusts up to 25 mph forecast that weekend! I thought that may be too much of a challenge..  I jotted notes in my iPhone as I hunted. Tebo Arm, Truman Lake Nov. 7: It was a very chilly start with a light glaze of frost on the windshield. I had awoke with a whopper of a headache so I hunted in the nearby timber behind the motel.  I hiked slowly and medication eased my headache somewhat.
