Author's Comments for the Week: We just got our first major storm of the season after week 7 hunts had completed. Week 8 should enjoy more bunched up birds as it forces them into our habitat for food and cover. Looks like anywheres from 2-4 inches covers the state. Will be hing winds all week and then settle down a bit for the weekend. Week 7 groups had outstanding weather for their hunts. Here is a snow depth chart for the state.
