Default Frozen!

Another reinforcement that pen raised birds just don't have the grit to survive. This weekend had 8 in of snow and low temps down to 5 degrees
I went quail hunting today an never fired a shot. Was finding quail froze to death in heavy cover, sometimes groups of 4-5. My dogs did point some live birds but I declined to shoot at them under the circumstances. I guess I may as well keep hunting them as doubtful they will survive . Was carrying my GH 16 with 3/4 oz loads.
