Poor Woodrow is going to be in for weather shock. After basking in that warm Florida sun and waters to this:

The upper food plot looks a bit chilly now, but by late March it should be greening up.

Several nights with lows of 10 degrees put 1" thick ice on all the ponds and drove the wood ducks down to open water on the river. But it will soon thaw out and the birds will be back.

Poor Judy had a hell of a day yesterday trying to make her run getting the kids home. They shut down the scholls at 1 PM and told the parents to come pick up their kids at all the schools. Trouble was, not all the parents could make it. Judy agreed to make one run and pick up whatever kids were left stranded at the schools. She made it by going very slow even though she could not get up some of the steep roads. She had to let some of the kids walk the short distance to their homes. All I know is that you could not pau me to drive that bus un-chained on yesterdays roads, but she did.

When she got home I put the chains on the bus tires and got it ready for this mornings run, but by 6 pm last night we got the call saying they were closing all the schools for today becasue the snow ontop the iced over roads were just too much to handle for the drivers. Judy needed the break and sh'e spent the today sewing us up some more camo clothes by the warmth of the wood stove.

Bring a warm coat Woodrow!

Our hunting area looks like that when the sun bleaches out the top of the hydrilla. The only ice Woodrow had here was in his iced tea.
 
Ron, you have Woodrow so spoiled he don't know how to lure a wooduck in. All those fancy party's, warm water and sunshine. Not to mention being tucked in bed at night..........why it's a wonder he will even get up out of bed in time to go duck hunting with Hitch.

Things will be different when he gets out here. He'll have to tow the rope, get up early, fix coffee and wear his lonmg johns! I don't believe in spoiling decoys, they either earn their keep or they get shot.....sometimes both! :^)

I'll try to shoot a woody over him if we don't freeze up solid before then.

We may have been 10 above last week, but I saw on the news that you have been 10 BELOW ZERO over there on Agency Lake.

I told Judy that we might as well move to Miles City, Montana now since they have had warmer highs than we've been having. You would have got a kick out of Judy the other evening, we chained up the bus and were walking back down to the house when she slipped in the snow. I helped her up and damn if she did'nt do it again! I turned around and went back up to help her get up again and she waved me off, strated laughing and laid on her side and rolled down the rest of the way! She was covered in snow by the time she got to the bottom.......she tends to act silly for her age at times, but I'm sure you would have done the same had you been here.

When do you start fishing for redbands thru the ice? Say hello to your girlfriend "Paula" when you sneak down the hill again.

BTW take some photo's of your "Banana Belt" so you can feel cool when it gets hot this summer.

Dave, Give Woodrow a hot toddy when he comes. I think he hunt for you then. Maybe some Yukon Jack. He's a tough old bird and he's had all the soft stuff he can drink. An like they say if they don't hunt we don't need any more pets. You know Mountain men arn't soft. Whaa So count your pelts, watch you hair, nose to the breeze,and Woodrow will bring a good price at the rendezvous.
 
to see how Woodrow does in the auction. He has a rich history already. I think I'll get Judy to sew up a coon skin cap for Woodrow.
