First Snow Hunt

 The first snow was several days ago, and the best time to hunt would have been the next day. I found it easier to stay in the shop near the stove mending fishing nets.

I finally got out a couple hours this evening to a good spot in a nearby tree farm. There were lots of tracks, and none were made by hunters. There were also lots trees. They were too tall with narrow shooting lanes between them.The flushes that were in range, were always obstructed by trees. The good looks were at long range. I shot a couple times not expecting much, and didn't get much. The usual strategy is to drive the birds out of the trees into the low grass cover along the ditch bank, but they were too smart that. They just flew from one part of the tree farm to another.

Heading to the pickup. It is getting late.
