This is the kind of weather event that pushes birds out....going-on right now in Council Bluffs, IA.

I got a call about a guy pulling a camper and a snowmobile through Belzoni today. Should I be preparing for unusual winter weather? Lol!

Most of Iowa has only had a few hours of above freezing temps in the last week. Didn't help our hunt yesterday. Eight guns and 14 birds. Prime hunting area too.

You wouldn't know prime hunting area if it kicked you in the nuts....

Otter creek lost 10k birds since last count. doubt these numbers are real. Daily average is still 2.5 or there abouts.

I read this forum everyday but never post, professional lurker!!
I live about five minutes from Council Bluffs and ya'll should see some good movement on Thursday or Saturday. We've got a big storm coming in, freezing rain, sleet and then snow. Friday winds are supposed to be 30 from the NW. There's a ton of geese here and a few ducks if you scout. Most lakes are locked up solid and a few of the streams are too. It hasn't been a great year but hasn't been bad either. Missouri was loaded last week but it'll be tough to keep those birds if they catch a big NW wind, load up on the steel!
