I doubt many hunters had an opening day like we had here in NE Iowa. I didn't shoot or even see a bird, but I give Thanks, the oncoming car went in the ditch instead of hitting me head-on when he lost control in the snow / slush.

Glad to hear everything is ok! Never killed a bird in snow, wouldn't mind it but not preferred!

yikes! Glad everyone is ok.
Looks like a rutting buck should be coming in, not a strutting tom!

Glad your ok. I used to hunt that first Iowa season pretty regular. I hunted in Alamakee County Iowaand It sure is pretty country. The weather is always the big question on that first season for sure.

Yeah, the cold and snow was OK, but the wind was nasty. I can do without that.

Glad to hear you are OK! I will be heading out for 2nd season Friday in NE Iowa as well.
Why shoot a 3.5"? Because they don't make a 4".

Yep, the weather sucked!!!
28*, 1"-2" of fresh snow and 25-35mph winds
We actually followed a plow truck for a couple of miles that morning.
My buddy did kill a nice Gobbler about 1 hr after shooting time that morning. The bird gobbled all the way in. Didn't see another bird the rest of the day. Heard a few gobbles later in the afternoon, but they were a long ways off on somebody else's property and upwind from us.
