it has been chilly here Angel. But nothing like it will get later - only 6 inches of snow and never got below the upper teens in the temp
Mark, somewhere I have a vhs of a last of the season hunt on Tonawanda several years ago, the tape is labeled THE ICE HUNT we broke ice in the channel, got set up, and were swarmed by mallards, the three of us had a but one short of the then 3 apiece limit in minutes. It was so cold that the guy who needed a bird took the next hen over just to get out and get warm. those are the hunts you remember for years. thanks for the post

You boys certainly had better luck than I did. Hunted with the Horn Brothers (my friend Tom Horn's sons) at their family camp this morning. It was 17 degrees when we took to the field and it never got above 30. Nothing moved till about 9am and then what we saw was sky high. The boys that hunted the impoundment killed one greenwing teal. Tom's oldest boy and I hunted the hill, we never fired a shot. Didn't matter though, we had a fine visit and I enjoyed myself a lot.

I went out with my 40 yo son this morning: 26 degrees, lots of ducks in the rice field, good shooting and a limit after 2 hours. We saw grays, mallards, teal,ringnecks and shovelers. A great time right up until sinking the pirogue in the 10 foot deep ditch!! All in All still a good morning with my youngest son. We will be back out Sat.

17 degrees in the deer blind this am. Took a nice custom 257R with me and enjoyed the rich walnut and case colors. No deer moved but the light snow and a dead calm morning was enjoyable.
