White Christmas hunt

Took a new hunter into a walk in spot for his first hunt on Christmas Eve morning. NWS blew the forecast. What was supposed to be a coating to an inch was easily 2-3", maybe 4". It made for a hunt I simply won't forget. It was a lake in the north zone of where I hunt. We didn't see much. Early before first light we heard some quacking. Never saw the birds. We had a pair of hooded mergansers working across the lake that provided nonstop entertainment. The only excitement was from a group of 15 or so birds flying high early on and then getting buzzed by a pair of black ducks mid morning. The scenery simply could not be beat.

Now I just need to decide if I want to go back. Just too nice of a spot to believe that when the birds are moving, they aren't there.

Beautiful scenery, certainly not something we see on the Gulf Coast!
 
Thanks guys. Was pretty memorable despite not seeing much. Buddy I brought with me is now hooked. Went out and started buying decoys shortly after.
 
That's a nice looking lake there Jay. It reminds me of some spots in North Jersey where I spent the latter part of my youth.
 
Carl,

If I had known what it would entail, I wouldn't have done anything different other than just save more money LOL.

Greg,

You have a really good eye my friend!
