70 degrees yesterday

[Phil C]

Life is good. 70 degrees yesterday and spent the day chasing birds. It is raining today so I thought I would share a few pictures. Since I was shooting my A10 I thought I would include a picture of a hunt from a few weeks ago where we were also shooting a Parker.







Only 3 more weeks of quail season, then a long dry spell.

Phil-- Nice male Mearns! Along with a couple of friends we hunted out of Patagonia in mid Deember and had a nice hunt. Hard flying birds for sure and not easily taken. Congratulations on your hunt!
One morning we were hunting near the Mexican border fence and saw a Mountain Lion on the Mexican border side---an extra bonus just to see one these days. Saw about as many border guards as we did quail...

Well last week it was in the teens here during the early morning hours. Most of the tanks we hunt ducks on had frozen over. Could not find many ducks. A week later it is 50 degrees warmer.

Bruce, you must not be too far from me. We had -9 here in dead central NY--chittenango.

Our bird season is closed and we won't see 70 for at least 4 months

Charlie, good call on the Plymouth. A Ford is very similar but doesn't have the slant to the quarter windows that the Plymouth does. Phil Carr and Bill Mullins, you are "da man". This time of year, we should be out west sweating it out on the border.
