Some Snow, But No Pheasants

This is an old railroad grade with lots of brush.

The birds often hunker down near the edges of these low bushes. Often their only way out is straight towards the hunter.

The dogs may have found more birds than I know about, because I lost track of them in the brush several times.

I went to a place where I've hunted a lot in past seasons, but not much this year. The landowner's neighbor mistakenly posted this area. However, I didn't figure that out until the season was almost over. When I finally did hunt the area, there were no birds. Today I tried it again. I heard one fly, and that was it.

The pictures show the weather change that occurred overnight.
