Winter hunting report

Winter is here --right now it's 4 above zero with a NW wind at 18MPH--cold with 7 inches of new snow and the birds are holding really tight--so tight that my son's 8 yr old lab caught one this morning---a healthy non injured wild pheasant--it was just a tad slow getting out of the heavy cover and snow. The other two birds we got were found by the dogs and flushed within feet of the hunters.:D

Being old and not every tolerant of cold weather I have retired to my easy chair in front of the fire place and left the hunting to the younger set.:cheers: If you can take the cold and wind this would be a good weekend to hunt in South Dakota
 
Hey Jim, the fireplace sounds like the better plan! :) I'm with you, can't take the cold or the heat like I could years ago. I'm sitting home waiting for warmer days to hit the field. 0 degrees here in Watertown right now with NW winds at 20 gusting to 36. Wind chill -22.

I have a friend coming from Colorado in about 10 days for 4 days of hunting. Praying it warms a little by then. I'm hoping to meet a UPH member in the Tripp area around the holidays for a day or two of hunting. Weather permitting! If we don't find any birds we might have to head west to your area.
 
I to hope it warms up a bit so I can get back in the field--you know where the place is and I'm sure we can work something out.:D
 
My son and I head to SD as soon as school is out Friday Dec.20. It is our first trip to SD. We have been into a few birds here in Kansas this fall but ready to see how the hunting is in the big time. 15 days and counting
