I’ve hunted a few days in those kinds of winds but always tried to be tucked up against the lee shore. I’ve also gotten up, heard the wind roaring and went back to bed. Or got to the ramp and said heck no and went home. If you have a spot you can safely get to on the lee side go for it...

New WFF Director? Nope, sure don't. I don't know that we ever crossed paths and I really dont have much contact with my former colleagues in that division like I do with SLD and MRD. The new MRD Director is a great biologist and a great guy. I know him very well.

No idea but cool looking marsh boat!

Following! My smokercraft is an early 80s hull. No leaks yet but sooner or later…..

A first time for me: did the turkey on the gas grill (not enough oven space inside with all the pies and casseroles to cook). Came out great, did a 8.5# bird, brined overnight.

Not missing anything here! I’ve already started cooking sweet potatoes, turkey is still in the brine. Lots more to do!
