Cold 🥶

[Duck-Slayer]

Was a bit chilly at -7 on Saturday morning. This is very cold for sw Idaho, haven’t seen these temps since moving from MT. Geese were very responsive in meeting there demise. Forgot the obligatory stacked pictures.

Always love when you can use snow covers on the blinds! Congratulations

Looks awesome! My problem when its that cold is I don't want to open the blind.

Have you seen the flock hanging out on that Simplot ground right there at Farmway/Simplot Rd? I’d conservatively guess 1000 geese there this afternoon in my way home from work.

Yikes, that's cold man!
Surprised that the birds are not looking for warmer surroundings.

Yes, I only live 5 miles from there. There was 3k there this past weekend!

I hope they don’t leave! It’s warming up nicely though right now. Been 35+ degrees the past 3 days

Been below freezing here for 10 days.
50 degrees tomorrow.
Here comes the flooding.

Glad you're still getting into them. I aint seen 35 for a low yet this year. The lack of cold north of me has kept numbers down this year.

So cold out there we waited in truck until they started flying. They sure dump into the decoys when it's cold like this.

Dang! I should have taken a dash picture of my truck last Sunday! But it said -21 when my 13 year old son and I left it for a pheasant hunt. He didn't like his glove, so he took it off and went barehanded for about 3 hours. I did see him put it in his pocket a few times though. Got 3. Great way to end the season.

Looks like you guys are having some good luck! I would say that -7 not moving in a blind is a lot colder than -21 when walking in snow. That sounds teeth-chattering!

Looks like fun!! The few times I have hunted geese in real cold (usually they migrate out when it’s cold and the water freezes) I prefer a A frame blind and a heater in it

 

[Doublecluck]

Been whacking em here in Montana as usual and cold as hell. Went out when it was -8 with a 15 mph wind (like 25 below) and nobody could stay in the blind more than a hour before going to warm up in the truck. We got em but probably 10,000 geese and couple thousand mallards landed in the decoys while we watched from the truck a couple times. Lol. Broke 1 shotgun, 1 spinning wind decoy wing, and one decoy exploded like glass when a big honker landed on it. You know it’s cold when plastic that’s supposed to be flexible shatters like glass.

 

[Soliderity]

Looks great, congratulation man !

-29 actual temp here this morning. thank goodness pheasant season is closed so I am not even tempted. Keep hammering those geese and post up more pictures for those of us homebound to see!
