I had planned to meet up with some friends for the end of the puddle season, but it looks like I may be sneaking onto some local ducks. Nevertheless, I can't complain about the season thus far and still have some sea ducking until the last day of January.
Shirley Lord once said, "What really matters is what you do with what you have" and we'll see how my vacation turns out.
Stay warm!!!

Oh Tony, I feel your pain! I think my duck season is pretty much over with the last arctic storm putting a deep freeze on everything. No open water means no ducks for sure. I hope to get some goose hunting in.
Be careful and good luck when you do venture afield!
Holy Moly that is cold! And to think were all bemoaning our frosty 20 degree morning last week. Best safe, good luck.
Yeah good luck with that.It's not as bad in NYC but the high on Monday is going to be 24,with wind gusts over 40.If I didn't have to be out in it,I wouldn't.
