We can shoot targets here in northern WI, but you need to pick your days. When it was -20 a week or so ago, probably not the best weather. I have about 15 chukars yet to shoot up at a preserve and I have to do that before the end of Jan, but we also have about 2 feet of snow on the ground. Of course the guys planting the birds probably won't get far off the trails either--but I was hoping for some better conditions.

If I were in CO, I might think of heading down to AZ to chase some quail. Reports sound halfway decent this year.

Bob, I hear you on the frequent "snow showers". We don't have much problem with wind and drifting here in the woods, but these darned nuisance snows cause me to get out the John Deere and blow out the driveway fairly frequently. What was supposed to be 2" turned into 10" to blow out yesterday. At least that one justified the effort. Not to mention scooping snow and frozen poop out of the dog runs.
