Jack,
Been to Pine county once this year, and moved four grouse in 2 hours, and got one. The pheasants have been spectacular this year, and my English Setter, "Knuckle Head" is more at ease with them, so, that is where we have been. I have pulled the trigger on the first tube in the Tobin five times and been rewarded with four birds, one of my best years, average wise, ever.

I wasn't born here, but, can report that I never wear a glove on my shooting hand (left) when hunting, regardless of temp. I had the Michael Jackson look down years before he did! Just keep moving, and everything is fine. Must be my Colombian born wifes coffee.

Good hunting, everybody. I know that some of you use a 21, I just don't know why, but, enjoy the trip anyway. Since Klunk is gone, somebody has to man the "butt ugly 21" station, and I guess it's my turn.
Best,
Ted
