Here's what our birds were doing on closing day. Whew! It was cold! Been a long time for us since we sat out a closer but the fireplace shore felt good.

Joe, great photo. Seems I've read stories about coveys being found frozen in formation during extreme temperature plunges. Gil

Like these? Probably died in a freezing rain. Not a pretty picture.

GLS. Thank you. That was a really funny response and quite true. My American Brittany is very conservative and refuses to wear boots. I'm still laughing!

Joe, that's a very cool picture. One does not get many chances to take one like that.

Oh, Daryl, I didn't take either of those photos but found them on the Internet. Sure glad I didn't see the second pic in person! Speaking of which, we have had snow recently but no freezing rain so the birds should be in excellent condition. The ones we took last Friday were still covered in fat so should be able to withstand a series of snows.....if they don't get wet.

An un-named 1926 Suhl drilling that I finished just in time to head for the Predatormasters Convention in Tucson. I repaired it and set it up with the full intentions of using it as a predator hunting rig. One ounce of NP BB's in a 2.5" 16ga hull acounted for this one. The rifle side is a 6.5x58R Sauer and very accurate, sub-Moa at 200 yards as shown. 
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

My intention was to wind up the 2014 season last Saturday with a wild bird quail hunt. Due to miserable weather forecast and an invitation from my banker to shoot "flighted" (that means thrown up in the air) mallards that is how I ended the GA season.  Now I guess I'll have to wait three weeks for the 2015 Spring turkey season to open on the 21st, tough life...Geo
