So what's the down side? Well, historically, anytime it looks this good the day before, I'm setting myself up for a huge letdown the day of. In my mind, we've already reduced 48 ducks and 52 geese to possession -- actually shooting them is a mere formality. Of course, even in my optimistic mind, the 48 ducks are 90% shovelers, so I guess reality could surpass my imagination -- doubtful, though. Obviously, it rarely works out that way. Suffice it to say that I anticipate a decent shoot opening morning. We'll hope for the best and take what we get. As for now, Gibby's forecast call for snow, and lots of it.
