My buddy hunted Glen Elder area for 2.5 days over Thanksgiving weekend. 2 guys, 4 dogs (Duck dogs though) they got 3 pheasants and 6 quail.

Bring layers for clothes.

If you’re warm standing around the truck getting things ready, you’re over dressed.

The most comfortable boots you own would be on my feet.

I’d personally be carrying a modified choked 12 gauge in January. Lighter the better for me.

If temps start out in 20s with forecast for sun and 40s and it’s been wet, a road will be solid in the morning when you get there. The leaving part can get sporty after it has thawed and the top becomes a road of snot. I’ve used $20 in quarters to get it so I could see out my windshield and get the wheels clean enough to not beat you to death from being out of balance to go down the road.
