We are headed to central SD next week for 3-4 days and I will probably make a second trip the week after Christmas.

So far the extended forecast, other than the ever present breezes of 15-20 per, look downright comfy in the 20’s-30’s*, with little chance of precipitation.

While well-stocked with shot shells, I noticed again today that our local Walmart has had the same twenty boxes of 16’s in #4’s since the beginning of our season. Must not be many sixteeners in NW Iowa. Nary a 12 or a 20 in at least a month or more though.
