Snow in the South!?!? You need to get out in it and chase those pups around. At the very least, it will burn off the calories from that delicious looking bread.

So, we hunted in shin deep snow yesterday after the high temperature finally cleared 20. Mushers Secret for the paws, extra snow-proofing on the boots and the exasperation of hunting quail in the snow.

Chris, I hope it's okay I add a photo from yesterday to whet your appetite for hunting in the snow. Aspen found a covey that flushed wild and scurried into an impenetrable pile of osage orange cuttings (the toughest wood known to human kind). The photo, courtesy of Elaine, shows yours truly doing the brush pile dance trying to get a bird to flush (and you're thinking, how will you shoot while dancing on top of a brush pile?). Don't worry, no birds were injured in the making of this photo...and we had to literally dig Aspen out as he got himself stuck try to burrow in. One bird flushed, almost taking Elaine's hat off.

Ah, snow days. Give 'em a try. At the very least it will increase your blood pressure.
