Amid Super Storm Sandy, a foolish impulse
As the thought of Hurricane Sandy plowing through Delaware motivated many Delawareans to hit the grocery stores, gas stations and home supply stores to procure disputably necessary supplies, I, too, was motivated. Truth be told, I considered hunting in the storm. While that thought could be perceived as flat-out ridiculous, it wasn’t without merit. In fact, exactly one year ago, I sat in a duck blind during the nor’easter that pounded the Delaware coast and brought snow to northern Delaware. Hunting adjacent to the Delaware River, the combination of strong winds, sleet, snow and cold contributed to one of the best duck hunting days of the season last year. Heck, if hunting in a superstorm worked once, why not try it again?
