November Winds Shape A Hunter's Quiet Reflections
The author recalls duck hunting under shifting November weather, noting high wind warnings from the National Weather Service and Indian summer days along the Cedar River. He cites Armistice Day 1940 on the Upper Mississippi, when a sudden storm caused over 20 deaths and harsh conditions for hunters. John Lawrence Hanson, Ed.D., Linn-Mar High School teacher and Linn County Conservation Board member, provides context on weather and history.
