Happy weekend, friends! I hope everyone is staying warm during these chilly, chilly days… Brrr! There’s something unsettling about needing to wear the same fleece-lined leggings to work that I typically wear when I am duck hunting. I know, I know… If I am not hunting, I am a complete wimp about cold weather. But 18* yesterday was cold for the Lowcountry!

That’s why I am so glad I was able to get a mid-week duck hunt in on Wednesday, just before the freeze came. It was still nice and chilly, with the temperature actually dropping as the morning went on, but boy was it pretty.

It wasn’t quite as good as last week’s hunt [read: I apparently couldn’t hit the broad side of a bard for the first 30 minutes], but we finished strong and both Dad and I came out with our limits – mostly ring necks, and a mallard here & there for Dad. Hey, slow and [mostly] steady or barrel-burner – I won’t turn down a duck hunt!
