Remember, anything below 45 degrees is COLD for this "valley boy"

Actually, I was surprised to hear that it's still hunting down there.
I remember a year my dad & I barely made our trip the weekend before Thanksgiving, years ago.

Anyway, HAVE FUN!!!

That was a cold weekend! Good to hear you brought home the bacon. A buddy and I loaded up, mostly geese. Cant wait to go back for more

where i was set up saturday i could have killed more canadians and mallards, but they would have landed on the ice. so i passed on the shots. today i brought a blind out and set up in a place they where crossing away from the ice yesterday and nothing was flying.
