Snow

3-4” to begin with, got another 3-4” since 9 am…great snow hunt! Pretty brisk E/SE wind, maybe 12/15, gusting a bit more. Felt like we were hunting in a Les Kouba painting! Some great dog work, some good shooting, and some head scratchers…5 of us put 13 in the vests, about 90 minute hunt. I love hunting in falling snow…👍

Yeah that sounds about perfect
 
Good map there spur.

I think it's safe to say that if you intend to hunt, you are going to encounter deep snow.

This separates the men from the boys, as they say
 
Map does not show that 90% of the snow has blown into the grasslands, tree belts, and cattail sloughs. True that - at least in the Dakotas and Minnesota where the wind has blown hard during and after these snowfalls.
 
Interested to see how impassible the gravel roads will be when it warms up tomorrow.. they’re currently glare ice, hoping they can’t get worse, right? Today I had to go 20 mph max and roll to a stop rather than hit the brakes otherwise I’d go sideways. Tough tough travels.

Google translate couldn't figure this out. Is it pig-latin, swahili, or are you a Navajo code talker?

It was a typing error. I shoveled some snow in this one place where I hunt, so the birds could get to Chow easier. When the snow gets deep, if it gets real deep, pheasants have a hard time finding Chow.
 
Rain :mad: is now in the forecasted today across much of the ND, SD and Minnesota pheasant belt. Accompanied and followed by high winds and then cold. This is a poor, poor start to the winter for the pheasants. And pheasant hunters.

Pheasant City, SD ... is rather typical ... some places more daunting than others.

Today does appear to be a slop fest before it ices over.

What a nice way to help out the pheasants. Did you also shovel some communal mud dumping stations for them?
