I'm amazed anyone was able to stay out in the stands for nearly four hours.
Tom Coughlin still looked like he had rosacea an hour after the game!
+6 F with a dull red sunrise. 10 -15 mph wind just to make things interesting. Wearing all the latest Gore-Tex, polar fleece, Thinsulate gloves, down vest, heavy pac boots.
The chicken wire/corn stalk blind offered little protection from the wind so I lined it with a GI army poncho as a windbreak. (I always plan ahead.)
We could see the geese 300 yards away siting on a patch of open water in the refuge.
After four hours the wind blew over some of the ground decoys so I walked out to fix them. I cleared the chamber of the 10 gauge Browning BPS before walking out in the corn stubble and found out I was so cold I couldn’t put the shell back in when I got back to the blind.
We left ...
