Stayed home today because of the high winds (lost a nice pine tree--luckily only the fence was damaged). Headed out early tomorrow for a few days. The farmers I talked to are saying it is a tough year.

Ken, what a handsome brace! I hope you find some more birds after this front has passed. I assume you got some moisture?
We are in the middle of the storm line right now. We also had to cut a downed tree in order to get out of the drive. It got to 76 degrees today. I dread going out in the morning to see what this wind has done. I hope we make it through the night.
I think of all the critters that are weathering this monster storm tonight.
I hope your coming hunts are good ones.
