I just got back from a day in the Errol/Berlin area of New Hampshire. Lots of grouse and a good number of woodcock, even though the flight birds had not arrived. We put up close to 30 birds, had about 10 passable opportunities (including two that almost knocked my hat off), and managed to bring a few of those home. This Fox 16 Sterlingworth is new to me, but she brought down a grouse on our first opportunity together. She also managed to bag this woodcock too. No telling how many grouse and woodcock this gun bagged before we met. 
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Hi all, nice pic Ham!!!! Anyway, Will and I went out for a little duck shoot, was cold, had to break some ice around the edge of the pothole, but we did get a mixed bag of puddlers and divers. Not much flying after the sun rose, so we got these early in the morning. Will did manage a scotch double on a pair of gadwalls, was he ever surprised!! Anyway, not the best day for ducks this year, but I still enjoyed the heck out of it. Will taking a rest after dragging our boat (uphill)to the truck:  Will with his birds and his Fabarm Classis:  My birds and my trusty Bernadelli:  All the best! Greg

Golly, I figured on coming over there next Saturday and giving you all a helping hand. Come on over RCC. You're more than welcome at my place. Saturday my cousin Rachel and I are going on my land. Her dad, my cousin in law, can't shoot because he had a right shoulder replacement in August so he will be our bird dog this year. With his one good arm he can be a pointer for us.
