Never have worried about scaring birds out of the area, little to no hunting pressure.  Used to kill 800 birds off the place in a year, cold and late in the season is the best as long as the fields dont get too buried in snow.

Excited to finally get out, heading to moses tonight... with thia weather should be a stellar shoot!

It's freezing up quick. hunted the lake today and the ice is just, and I mean Just south of the launch. bird numbers are ok, not stellar. Son and I picked up three cripples from the east side of the lake today. Guys hit them pretty hard, but No effort to finish the job.... I guess goes 65 yard shots aren't what they used to be  :dunno:

Ice in the Toppenish FWS unit was about 1" thick last Saturday.  I bet it will be double that by this weekend.  Temps haven't been above freezing all week.  Anyone know how thick the Ice is at McNary?  I have a pick there next Wednesday.
