Thanks for the well wishing. I have family in Lakin and have heard that the bird numbers have been pretty good in that area, but I hear the southwest corner has always been a bit less consistent than the northwest counties. I'm not sure how heavy this new layer of snow is going to be out west, but around here the weather stations are talking about 5-8 inches before Friday. It may be a good weekend to head to the rifle range or bust some clays.
