Change in Weather

[AKSkeeter]

Quite the contrast in weather.
Hunting huns with my older lab early morning before it got hot.
Well hot for an Alaskan, I was in a T-shirt by 10am.

Then this morning, with my 10-month old and our first Montana snow!

The snow was deep!

The snow was deep!

We had 8 inches at our house close to the mountains,
yet 10 miles away at lower elevation, no snow on the south facing slopes.

With snow, my daily Montana solo hunts change.
Normally I like to hunt from dawn to noon, with the best hunting that first hour.
But crunchy snow announces my arrival to roosters from a great distance.

So I wait until the sun and temperatures soften the snow so solo hunting I can be more quiet
and hunt late afternoon with best hunting around sunset.
