Great photos, Gil. Glad the 28 worked out for you. Looks like Abby got on some birds today.
Take care.

Yeah well Adam, I just woke up to -64 below zero "wind chill" this morning. That's 96 degrees below the freezing point of water. Not really conducive for hunting. Besides bird season is closed in North Dakota till September.
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

It was 51 this morning when I got in the car, raining lightly and blowing hard. The other morning it was about 5 above and last week this time it was about 5 below. Supposed to get cold again tonight and all this rain should freeze, not that we're likely to get any snow soon.
The bird seasons here are closed until October and the only thing open to hunt is hare. Even the preserves are pretty much shut down - I was going to go with friends earlier this month but the operator told me there was so much snow there was not enough cover to put the birds into, so he was closed until sometime in spring.
Time to tie flies, load shells, clean and maintain.

My Drahthaars stayed home Saturday and I joined a friend and his beagles chasing the mighty cottontail. That's a ribless Valmet OU with a very large triggerguard over my shoulder. The "thick gloves" gun.

It was below zero last night here(N. Wis.)and forcast is for -18 tonight but today is the last day of the grouse season so I'll be out. I've been seeing birds lately but I hate to shoot since the late Gordon Gullion said any grouse shot after Dec is no longer surplus and cuts into next season's population.About 9 inches of snow on the ground so they will have good roosting cover when it gets cold.I hunted 21 days this month but it was mostly an exercise in...well,exercise.Only 7.5 months to the opener.

Well I guess I'll have to bundle up Saturday. The LOW is going to be in the high 20s!!!!  Then it'll warm up to a chilly 62. Alabama and Georgia quail season ends on Feb 28. In Florida, it goes into the first week or two of March. On our lease, we bought a preserve license that allows us to hunt all the way to the end of March. Which we'll do as long as it stays cool.
