Not any more. Arctic air moved in with 4 to 14 inches of snow north of I90 (I90 and I29 still partially closed), blizzard winds. Below zero in Sioux Falls and it just gets colder north.

We have limited out every day since this past Saturday with a very mixed bag-- canvasback, redheads, greenwings, gadwalls, mallards,ringnecks,widgeon, pintails--and one suicidal shoveler.
Had to break ice this morning in Mississippi. Supposed to warm back up which will slow things back down but it is good for now.
Just finishing packing up the vehicle to drive up to Knotts Island on the northern Outer Banks (Back Bay and Albemarle Sound). Going to hunt MON-TUE-WED, hope to have a good report when I return.

i know how you feel. Had a guy outside the deeks this am at 10 til legal trying to find a spot to setup. Watched 2 guys ride around in a 100yd circle for 30 minutes trying to get their bearings in the fog. Gotta love it. I usually head to arkansas a couple times a year but my hunting partner can't go this year so i'm stuck here with rubberheads in SC
