We just received 20+ inches in the last 24 hours. Broke the old record set in 1910 here in Ohio. Doesn't seem as bad as the blizzard of 1978 to me yet, but my memory has faded quite a bit.
I was just wondering what this is going to do to the dismal bird hunting we already have been having. Bird hunters I hunt with are always talking of the "golden days" before the blizzard hit. It's been 30 years and we were just now starting to get quail re-established. Old timers say "1978" hurt the grouse population in the same way.
I've never really bought into that whole excuse, with my argument being that states out west have these types of snowy/cold winters every year and somehow the birds not only survive - but thrive in those states. Since the weather sucks to bad to go outside, anybody want to offer up opinions on how this will effect Ohio birds?
