Its been close enough to two decades since I hunted Ellesmere, but back in the day we use to forget lectures and head out on the lake when a big southerly was due. It got really rough out there at times, could easily drown a dog in a big southerly....we had some close calls ourselves, more then once we abandoned everything but our shotguns and went back for the birds, decoys (what was left of them) and gear the next day.
