Didn’t grow up in the 70s, born in 89. My father told me once about a blizzard in 77 or 78 that killed off the quail in the Ohio River valley. Hat do you guys remember?
I remember the blizzard. Was only 8 but had a blast in all that snow. Wasn't aware of the impacts on wildlife.
Was a senior in HS (78) and 77&78 we got pummeled with snow. Pheasant and qual seemed too diminish afterwards... I may be remembering wrong but I don’t think we’ve seen those amounts since.....

I was a rookie snow plow driver(deicer) back during the blizzard. Coldest I have ever been. Got called in Wednesday night got home on Sunday for a quick shower and back at it on Monday. Hunted quail down in Highland Co prior to that and limited out frequently. After the blizzard they were not to be found or heard for many years later.
First hunting license. There were a lot of pheasants back then. The blizzard did hurt the population but the hunting was still good in the early 80's.
I was alive during the blizzard but was too young to remember any of it. The was a semi driver that was traveling down st route 13 and got stuck in a drift right beside Mansfield Lahm airport. It ended up drifting over his truck and he was stuck inside the drift for 5 days before someone finally found him and got him dug out.
