    Wow what a day. It was snowing and blowing but we still headed out. Got to the field right about shooting time this morning and were set up by 8am. Then the snow and wind really came down. We got 5 inches of snow while we were hunting this morning. Visibility most of the time was under 150 yards. Had a pair of mallards lock up and come right in that was pretty neat. Had one flock work a couple passes but I think the snow on the decoys might have made them not finish and then we had a loner come in on the deck for about 100 yards. Craig popped up and blasted him. In the pic you can tell he came in real well!!!! We were running 5 1/2 dozen FB, dakotas, hardcores, and Avery. Also had a dozen shells I think or maybe a few more. All in all for the amount of birds we saw and the way the weather was we had a good morning.

    Here is part of the spread couldn’t get them all in one pic.

    Yes it all fit into my truck…………. Next year I will have an enclosed trailer!!!!

    The kill for the day…………. Think it was a close shot????

    Got to love the late season hunts in the snow. I say it was a success.
