Cold, but it could be worse. I tested the snare and it fired just fine despite all that frost.

They were already on the ground before shooting light and I was running late and didn't get there until after legal light. I got too close without realizing it and he flushed. I blasted him out of the air like a pheasant.

If birds are spooky or I am after something special like snowCOCK I use Remington Extended Range #6 or #4. For pheasants and chukar I try finding #6s, but not necessarily high performance loads. For most everything else I just use whatever cheap dove load I can find.
