The news play of the NWS satelite image:
https://www.gomn.com/life/that-isnt-rain-its-migrating-birdsMore geese in Chanhassen today. First birds to use the iced over pond in back of the house showed up around lunch.
Those birds on the satelite image came through the metro after Al said they were gone and Bullet said they were still North...... if anyone is keeping track of those sorts of things....
Even though my personal timing/availability wasn't on track to take advantage of it, nice to see things happen again like they used to.
Gimp, I think the adjustments over the average will show later freeze-ups. The climate change is a bitch. We used to have regular measurable snow for deer hunting and that doesn't happen much any more. This year, so far, has been a throw back.
I don't think we'll see a return to anything other than 60/6. There isn't enough hunters, no matter how crowded your spot is, to worry about it. Will be interesting to see if Denise Anderson writes anything after we keep shooting birds past what, 2020 was it? The worst thing weather wise for ducks in MN right now is the rain that never stopped.
We need some draw down periods. The Dakota's need draw down. I'll take what little chances may or may not open for me the next few weeks.
