Yip, could be the worst combination as far as opening is concerned. Birds dispersed onto new wet areas while hunters look up at empty skies. Not so bad if you hunt regular over the season though.Quote:

And forecast for clear skies and gentle breezes for opening. Don't go overboard on the curry the night before, there will be no chance of the toxic fallout being carried away.Quote:

I enjoy the country rugby for a change not so much the boat races the ref has to do in the aftermatchQuote:

We had no wind Saturday with a bit of cloud but not much. We had a bit more cloud today and a breeze but no real wind. Still got our limit both days.
