Hey all, went out today solo after our Annual Church Dinner/Fair. Decided to hit one of my good spots. Didn't see any grouse today, but Raina pointed a couple of nice roosters. Flushed up some Huns and managed one from that covey. Flushed up another covey and managed a double for a limit. I felt like Ben O. Williams!

I used my 16ga FN



and.......Raina



Best,

Greg

She points and retrieves other game on land but insists on only picking up ducks in water up to her knees. I can do that! Had to get another Lab for duck shooting...Geo


Thanks, Geo!

Hey all, well today was our pheasant opener. It was a poor one (at least for us). One of the poorest openers I've had in years. My son Jim and I each did get one (and Jim also got a grouse), so not all was lost! Saw few birds, plus the wind was really whipping today (22+ and gusts over 30). That didn't help. We saw 5 roosters total, no hens. But as I said the wind really affected everything. Going to try around the home place here tomorrow, so we'll see what happens.

Jim with his birds. He was using his 12ga Victor Sarasqueta 3EC



I used my 12b James Purdey



Raina and the the days bag



Until tomorrw!

Hey all, . my son went out yesterday and we saw about 8 birds, and I was able to get one. But, my GSP Raina got a good gash on her leg, so that ended our hunt early. That really sucked!


Went out today solo and no dog, didn't see a thing!!! Terrible hunting, but a nice day for a walk!


Anyway, here's my bird from Sunday. I was using my 12b F.A. Anderson




Hope Raina heals fast!


Best,


Greg

I've just returned from Michigan's UP. It was a very wet Spring and Summer possibly accounting for fewer birds seen. I keep going up there too early resulting in leaves up and very little fall color. Next time I'll wait until October. In addition to the usual GEMS sites managed for grouse, I came across an area specifically managed for woodcock. Looking forward to the rest of the season!

Don't make the mistake I made and go too early. I was too anxious to start the season. Lots of flies, mosquitos and way too many leaves, not to mention the heat. I'm looking forward to the woodcock flights.
