Wingshooter thinks eating half a cow helps his hunting.

Don from Kansas City stopped by to ask if there were any sharpies in the vicinity. He and his two pointers had been out for 3 hours and seen nothing.

Wingshooter and I wondered if it was because the 60 birds we had just kicked up had left the area.

My last foray in the Sandhills Thursday the temp was 85 degrees, and both dogs and James were wise enough to let me have it all to myself. smile

We are now on the North shore of Superior with our host Fourtrax. Got my first woodcock ever, and had a little trouble finding it (I was so excited I didn't mark the bird very well). Kept calling Cocoa back to the area I thought the bird was. Finally she stopped at one spot, put down her nose and sniffed at something; lifted her head and looked at me, and walked off. I walked over to the spot she sniffed at, and there was the bird.




Here James has found one of those Pokemon things:

I've been running my Ideal 314, which now has three sets of barrels. Tubes choked .005 and .015 were employed successfully in the Sandhills; have switched to the barrel set choked .000 and .007 for the North woods. James was shooting his Heym, both guns 16's.

Treb.....the 12 gauge Ideal might be a bit overkill for woodcock and ruffies choked .026 and .035. lol

The Heym is choked .007 and .015.

Also it was a bit rainy today. The Heym is closer to a "rain" gun. It is my go-to ruffed grouse gun. Middle weight for a 16 at 6 pounds 6 ounces. It's either that or my 5 pound Tolley 12 gauge. But I didn't get the Tolley on the list of guns BATF was okay with me bringing to your fine country.

There was a bit of a kerfuffle last year getting my form 6NIA back so I had to go south without any guns. Mike very kindly let me use his grade 5 Ideal 16 gauge but we did swap guns a bit so I ended up using both of Mike's Ideals last year.
