This year the weather was mild one week and the next, temps plummeted and the snow began. It hasn't let up yet. <BR/>Your story about hubby falling in icy water is one that scares the begeebees out of me when it comes to winter hunting. I am glad that you weren't to far from safety and a warm house. Hypothermia is a very real possibility when something like that happens. <BR/>On the other hand I can only imagine how stuffed that open water was with ducks.

By the time we picked up and got back to the truck his waders were so frozen we thought they would tear when we broke the ice so that he could get out of them!Blessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029860506890356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-60527041239642522322008-12-17T16:20:00.000-08:002008-12-17T16:20:00.000-08:00Sounds like you are on a roll, I'm almost on x-mas...Sounds like you are on a roll, I'm almost on x-mas vacation and looking at 18 days of gunning... woo hoo!!!Downeast Duck Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445000557200149121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-19535672439308433742008-12-16T14:21:00.000-08:002008-12-16T14:21:00.000-08:00I'm glad you had a good hunt.

You are absolutely right!<BR/><BR/>Rick if you get the chance to waterfowl hunt, I think you might like it. It can be pretty exciting at times.<BR/><BR/>Well NorCal, I've grown accustom to hunting in cold weather and have got the gear to stay warm. Plus the amount of birds that come through with these cold snaps make it well worth it!<BR/><BR/>Yea Tom, you know what that hunt was like. Nothing like getting upland and waterfowl the same day. When I left the cabin the pipes were frozen and wasn't able to drain them and the roads were slicker than a county fairs "greased pig", so yes, I am now looking forward to some warmer weather :)Terry Scovillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921175577588776380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-67094892154413207012008-12-16T09:32:00.000-08:002008-12-16T09:32:00.000-08:00Yup - y'all asked for it, now you got it! :) Love...Yup - y'all asked for it, now you got it! :) Love the pheasant in with the waterfowl in the pic...that's what I used to love about hunting eastern Oregon. We'd walk the river bank jump shooting ducks and filling our bag of pheasant most days at the same time - but not when it was this cold! Still, sounds like a great trip despite the freezing weather - now, for the sake of the rest of us that are freezing, will you wish for some warmer weather, now? :)Tom Sorensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376762648007983014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-1186870631160298762008-12-16T08:25:00.000-08:002008-12-16T08:25:00.000-08:00Ooooh, posts like this make me so grateful for Sac...Ooooh, posts like this make me so grateful for Sacramento Valley hunting, where 25 degrees is cooooold. :-)Holly Heyserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134909592916671876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-38980523216623689602008-12-16T06:37:00.000-08:002008-12-16T06:37:00.000-08:00Terry, it sure sounds like your plan worked and th...Terry, it sure sounds like your plan worked and the tailgate proves it.
