The snow has settled in on
Daybreak. The drifts are quite high along the roads and the driveway. We
keep things plowed out with the Bobcat and the snow blower. We are
seeing many birds in the open bean fields, pheasants, sharptail, and
turkeys. They are scratching around for food and grit and seem to be
doing well. Even though the snow is plentiful, the birds are still finding
food and of course there is plenty of cover for them to roost and stay
away from predators.

We have been seeing many deer
as well. Although the deep snow is hampering their ability to get around with
ease. So far all are in good shape but as the winter goes on and if we
get more snow it will be tougher on them. They are also out and
about in the bean fields and eating the bushes as high up as they can
reach. Fortunately with the Elm River bottom there is plenty of cover for
them to get out of the winter harsh winds and blowing snow.

Winter hunters included the annual reunion of the
Hall brothers. The brothers come from literally the four corners of the
country each December for a hunt with Pine Shadows. Here is Rich with his
springer, Boston.

Six women executives involved
in marketing and communications for the hunting industry experienced some
fine pheasant hunting guided by Morgan, brother Travis and Joannie.
Everyone tried out the latest in Benelli shotguns as we sampled a dozen
different guns both on the trap range and in the field. Some of the
participants blogged about their adventure. Deerfly Diaries

Longtime friends of hunting with us, Truck Country enjoyed three
visits this fall. Besides kicking up lots of birds, we found a couple
skunks and successfully used our effective peroxide antidote: a couple
bottles of peroxide, scoop of baking soda, and a good squirt of Dawn dish
detergent. Make a paste and rub over the dog while wearing rubber gloves.
Rinse. Remember.
