Here are couple of I-Phone pics snapped this past week by Wanda, my better half. Timber pointing a ruff grouse. I got the look from Timber for my clean miss. Gentry taking a break, taken yesterday 9/28 in the seasons first snow.

Nice pics Bill, keep them coming! Will and I went out today to our "other" pot hole. We were both limited out in a couple hours. Far cry than yesterday, fun day and a nice one. Here's a pic of part of our spread: Here's Will picking up the blocks: Will and today's bag: A good day with a good partner! Best! Greg

Greg,
Not to be doomsday crier, or anything like one, but after looking at the last couple of photos of Will in that little float boat I do have to tell you of a drowning that took place here about a month ago.
Goose season opened here in SD on Aug 3rd.
On a pothole lake about 3 miles from the house a young chap tipped his little dingy and filled his waders with water. He drowned before his companion or a motorist who swam out to him could help him.
Please! Have Will slip those waters off before picking up the dekes.
Best to you friend. I will try to rendezvous with you along the Interstate for lunch on the 20th when I head back up to Montana. Maybe we could meet in Bismarck and get John to join us. And tell Rick that the SD house is a lot closer to him than my kennels in Sidney. He stopped off for lunch one day last fall when he was in MT. Going by here on his way to your place is not hardly out of his way at all.
Bob

Hi Bob, points well taken! Thanks for being a second set of eyes on this one. I will say one thing, that boat is one of the most stable platforms I've ever seen, and fast....Will can paddle that thing like no tomorrow. A sight to see.
That would be a hoot to meet up. Sure would be a fun time. Rick plans on coming out for pheasant opener. I'll let him know about SD.
Take Care and have a good one!!!
Bets!
Greg

This year's early Prairie Chicken have been particularly successful with bird finds on six days straight Despite a bad year in so many ways, this season is turning out quite well. The four birds are a Saturday/Sunday bag with my best 16 I doubt I will see two straight days like that for some time

Hi all went out after work for a bit with my daughters Teresa and Patty. Managed to get a couple so the day was a success. The girls kept up well and didn't complain a bit. Was proud to have them with. The birds and my 16ga FN: Teresa, (Patty didn't want her picture taken). BTW both wore blaze orange when we were in the field: Best! Greg

Greg; How do you pick up all those different guns and shoot game so well? When I switch around the horses my shooting seems to fall off a bit and sometimes rather dramatically.
Socialism is almost the worst.

Hi Buzz, really can't say. I really don't have a problem switching. Heck I can even shoot one with a 3" DAH. Guess I'm just lucky or don't think about it. My only problem is a long LOP, 14 5/8" or more forget it, just can't shoulder them without the stock hanging up. I can't do that thrust out and pull in method, so I need a shorter LOP, anything from 13 3/4" to 14 1/2" I can do. Take Care and thanks for the kind words! Greg
