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.

We did good in the wind yesterday.  Focused on picking out greenheads.

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!

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.
