Nothing like doves with a good tail wind to provide good excuses for missing them, eh? And what state/area are you hunting? Just curious about the state, not prying into your secret dove spots.

Took the boys for a run on Tuesday. It was 12 with a 20 mph wind. When we worked into the wind it froze my face. I intended to go today but it was -2 this morning but only about 10 mph wind, but still I said the heck with it and loaded shells instead. Maybe tomorrow.
Supposed to shoot clays Sunday. Forecast is for 2 overnight and a high of 10. Grandson says we are going so we will. Last edited by Gary Laudermilch; 12-28-2017 at 03:38 PM.. Reason: addition |

Spent all day yesterday on the ram end of a log splitter; high was 28 degrees. Hit it again at 7AM (12 degrees) and finished up around 10 AM when it had warmed up to a balmy 28 again. A little wind always helps!! As revenge against the drudgery of 'chores', we have a quail hunt planned for tomorrow morning "late" (10-ish) and the weather can do whatever it wants; we're going anyway.
BTW - Percy Thayer Blogg was a local boy (MD) - Check out his, "When Springtime Comes to Bodkin Creek." - it'll help take your mind off this cold!!!!! |

Good luck on the quail hunt. We went yesterday in 12 degree temps. Found a covey (got one from it), and managed a pheasant (not many around here). Still chasing wild birds. Thanks for the tip on Blogg. I'll look it up. |

Got up this morning and the temperature was -35 and wind chills of -45. Not too bad, but I've tried hunting in these conditions and in hindsight while it was occasionally satisfying it was never "fun". Must be getting old.

It's 7:30 Thursday evening and I set the broom under the thermometer and the mercury is down on the broom handle. It says its 4 degrees and heading down even more.
Not as bad as it could be but it is cold outside! |
