We got to the ranch Friday around 5:30. It was overcast and still, quintessential hunting weather. By 9:30 the clouds began to thin out, and by 10:00 they had completely peeled back and gave us a view of some incredible stars: ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-40566-274787-ranch.jpg) By Saturday morning the clouds had returned, frost covered the ground, and a thick layer of fog was suspended up on the hills. The deer movement was excellent early but largely done by 8:30. I did find a deer to add to the keep an eye on for the next year or 2: ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-40566-274788-dsc02357_2.jpg) The clouds broke again, and it warmed a bit Saturday afternoon. Covey picked up her first ducks of the year in a nice little mid-day wigeon shoot: ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-40566-274789-dsc02408_2.jpg) Saturday night was one of the darkest nights I've ever witnessed out at the ranch as the low clouds built up, keeping any ambient light at bay. A great night for a steak, a few glasses of wine, and an early bed time; however, I wasn't prepared for what I would wake up to: ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-40566-274790-dsc02447.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-40566-274791-dsc02469.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-40566-274792-dsc02441.jpg)

Great pic of the dog in the snow.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Really cool photos, especially the Lab in the snow.
