Better get over here, we should get some ducks with this round of weather. May be hard to find any open water that isnt in a main channel though.I have a tag good thru Monday. I was making plans to hunt Sat-Mon, but step one for me is weather. A foot of snow on Friday with periodic snow and single to no digits over the weekend broke my spirit fast, lol.
Same thought process here but even older! Lol!21 year old me probably hunts the next couple days but 41 year old me with a wife and two kids probably isn’t hanging in a tree with 45 mph gusts and 30-45 below windchills. Hoping the forecasters are wrong in some way, I’ve got my gear laid out like I’m going.

Wasn’t my year but darn did I have a lot of fun. I got a bunch of encounters on video and got completely busted zero times. Once a buck stared me down for so long I was certain I’d move first, was afraid to move my eyes. Eventually he went back to browsing. I held at full draw on two deer without letting the arrow go while I made up my mind. I got to hear two bucks fight and it was so loud I didn’t know what I was hearing until they came into view with one chasing the other off 5 minutes later. Got to watch a buck so tired his tongue was hanging out chase down a doe who was so exhausted she almost ran into the tree I was in breed her 50 yards away. Almost got down from a tree because the geese in the crick were so loud it was annoying after while. Had a non-hunter tell me what a loser I was on an urban hunt and two joggers try to lead me to a good buck in the same spot 5 days later. Lost binoculars and range finder crawling into a spot I wanted. Made mistakes. Learned.45 year old me wishes I was still hunting, but is glad my freezer is full and that I don’t have to sit in single digit weather waiting for a deer to get so cold that it needs to get up and build some body heat!
I hope y’all are staying warming and eating lots of venison!
