Wind Storm

Is anyone going to be out hunting during the wind storm? If so, share your pics. I'd be out myself, but I can't miss work.

Im thinking about it really hard. If my work loses power its a sure thing.
What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.

We did good in the wind yesterday.  Focused on picking out greenheads.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

We hunted layouts in open water and shot 2 limits of scaup and 2 limits of pintails. One had a nice suprise.

We scouted yesterday after I picked my boy up from school. We looked over some spots that traditionally have open water once everything locks up. Found some birds, and they were willing to work. Hope they stick around, we've had a great season thus far. They storm last evening was I think worse than the wind we had the first part of the week. Sideways snow, a lot of wind, and bitter cold. Was fun though!
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

That IS a nice surprise! What secrets did the jewelry tell you?

Got off a little early yesterday.  Went out for a quick afternoon pass shoot. Was feeling too lazy to take the dekes and figured with the wind i wouldnt need em.   Ended up with my limit in an hour.  Shot more shells than i really want to admit  :dunno:  hard to hit the buggers with a 30mph tailwind is my excuse   :chuckle:

Wow, that's awesome. Would love to know some of the banding data if you're comfortable sharing.
