A long day of hunting at my favorite hunting grounds the day after a snowstorm. Wonder how many miles I walked today? Beautiful sunrise, and I love listening to the crazy sounds the ice makes on the 3,000 acre lake there as it warms up in the morning. Did not manage to connect on any invasive doves (which are extremely tasty) and the geese stayed up by the river where I cannot go, but I did bag a couple squirrels and a rabbit who has eluded me in the past. Mid day I switched to another spot that can only be charitably called "prairie" because deserts have slightly fewer plants. Ya gotta walk long distances (tough in the snow wearing all the cold weather gear), but there are a lot of jackrabbits there and since they do not use burrows they are out and about even when everything else has gone to earth for their mid day nap. I must have flushed at least 5, but only one let me get close enough to connect.
The wind picked up in the afternoon. Toughed it out for a bit, but called it early as 25 mph winds are not amusing when the daily high is 30F and your feet are damp from a long day of slogging.
