Typically one can simultaneously see columns of snow, rain, and sunshine all within a square mile. Each with wind coming out of a different quadrant. For sure if I invite someone over for a shoot, Mother Nature will turn on me.

I don't think it's possible to shoot them out. I've spent two full days working 160 acres, returned a week later, and it's like no one has even been there.


I hunt them with a local who is 88 years old and has been shooting them for most of those years on the same few circles......every day. I bet he averaged 10 a day for his whole life. They are not going anywhere.
