Mark,I also really enjoy hunting in the snow. I'm not sure if it's because a lot of people stay at home and I can usually get some solitude, or because it just feels old-worldly and classic, but I like it.
Great pictures and is that perchance one of your Huskys? I like your personal touch of the painted chukar on the forend by the way. Yes, it just has a different feel to it. Birds seem to hold tighter too, and I like hunting in cool weather. Yes, that's my main upland gun, my mod. 100 Husky 16. The chukar forend is fun. I'm going to do the same with a Husky duck gun I have. I'm thinking about re-doing the butt stock on this 16 this off season by including a skylined scene of some friends I hunt with and a dog or two, in subtle sepia tones. Something to look at other than just wood grain. Fun.

I hunt in a lot of snow - or I did in the old days when we had snow. Bird hunting can be pretty productive during the early part of the hardwater season when the cattails are passable. But shooting birds from snowshoes can be a bit challenging shooting, and it can be hard to see when the winds start edging into the 20 mph region, not to mention it's hard on the hands, especially the trigger finger. On the other hand, we don't run into much competition out there. But it's not too bad when the snow is thin

I never fished that far out but have fished the Salmon River outside of Pulaski, NY. Very hard to fish there because of all the salmon fisherman (snaggers). Hooked a few but could not keep them upstream from me, once they headed downstream I broke them off. Some nice browns there too.

Oh yes...once they start ripping with the current they're not stopping with light lines. I've yet to tie into one of those big lake run browns...

Good season's start, buddy.
I know the reason you couldn't hunt the cane patches. River is supposed to hit 16.9' at Burton's Ferry by Monday, and it's raining steady here right now. Supposed to tomorrow, too.

Mike, fit is fine; twin to my other 302 which I shot a lot last season. Ideal "safety dyslexia" screwed me up on the easiest shot of the day or rather I screwed myself. Gil
