Recent snow and ice in Mississippi have caused headaches for many across the state this week, but for two brothers from Batesville, the icy accumulation turned into pure gold.

"I was actually working yesterday morning (Tuesday) and they called and said they were out of school, again," Marcus Christon said. "So, I went home and surprised them and took them hunting."

Christon said he and his two sons, M.J., 11, and Tyler, 10, decided to hunt from a box stand with a heater inside, but conditions were still frigid.
