That holds true for us bad ankle folks as well Lloyd.

Back from my NH trip. 3 solid days in Pittsburg. 7 flushes, 1 miss, 1 dead without a dog. The proprietor of the cabins we stayed in, said the bird flushes were way down. All in all it was beautiful weather, great company, foliage in it's peak with lobster and other seafood a plenty. We are already planning next year.

Oh, 28ga WC Scott with 7/8oz #8's. I'll be using the same setup next year. Light weight and short barrels. What a treat. My cousin was using his Ruger O/U 20ga.. He carried the Scott for a couple of hours and... he's looking for a new shotgun for next year.

Bill:

If that's the stream between the Lower Connecticut Lakes then I've flyfished it (successfully, I might add). Beautiful country, no question! Always wanted to hunt it, but haven't quite made it back there yet. I've got family in New Hampshire who needs to learn how to properly use his J. Graham & Sons 20 BLNE. Yes, lugging a 5 1/2 lb scattergun will spoil you.

Lloyd,
That is EXACTLY the stream in the pic..
I thought it was interesting that there is a stretch called the trophy area. Fly fishing only. The bottom pic is the second Conn lake.

We went up to Scott's bog toward the Canadian border and there were Canadian Jays. We were walking along a stream and my cousin pointed at one in the tree. It flew down and sat in his hand!
Very cool.
