I have been thinking of you, Matt, and our other members, like Dean, who live in the north central US. We are expecting 50 mph winds and high temperatures below zero here in North Missouri.
We went hunting today and left early so that the birds could re-covey and hunker down before the storm. We were here in 1983 when a similar storm came through. I found lots of dead birds after the storm, and our quail and pheasant populations took years to recover. I'm hoping for better this time.
Good luck, stay warm to all our members in the path of this doozy of a winter storm.
