School today has been canceled, in preparation of that winter storm heading our way.  I must say that I wish my mom had realized the closing BEFORE she woke me up and I was in the shower, but I’m still glad for an extra day at home.

I’m also excited that this is the last weekend for duck hunting and with the storm coming in, the ducks will be with them. I’ve always heard that foul weather bring in the fowl….and with this weather pattern, it looks like the fowl will be plentiful.

It’s important for water-fowlers to pay attention to the weather and understand how to use the elements in their favor.  If you simply go out hoping for a duck, chances are you won’t have much luck.  Duck season calls for preparation, or you are just sitting there in the cold.

To learn more about the weather and how it can affect your success, check out Ducks Unlimited.  There is a ton of good information there that will help you prepare for your hunt.

Wish me luck this weekend.  I hope to bag a few good ones for the dinner table.  My granny cooks a mean duck!
