Geo,
This past Tuesday I went out for grouse. 14 deg. with a stiff 18 mph. wind. I lasted 2 1/2 hrs. and it was brutal. I envy your weather and the fact that our woodcock are now wintering down there. I hope you can take advantage of it if you have a woodcock season there.

The only reason there aren't six depicted is because I didn't hold up my end. Floyd dropped them all with his Ithaca SKB 20. We found some birds. Pop and Sadie at the helm.

Good job, Gil. Looks like the birds have made it down here.

Gus and I did well this weekend. We got a total of 4 birds, for 14.6 miles of walking, and 5 shells. Can't complain, but we are earning every bird this year.

This isn't the best photo, but note the 1/2 of a 10 pointer rack. It looks freshly shed, which is darn odd. We found a dead 8 pointer and Gus retrieved a pre-dead rooster as well.

Gil,
Not shooting, or, not hitting? I think that old Darne was choked plenty tight.

Might be time for some pattern board work.

Best,
Ted

Ted, tough shooting in thick cane. Patterned it with and without spreaders at 25 yards. Spreaders give both barrels a good pattern similar to Floyd's IC barrel in his 20. Non-spreader loads are tight in the left barrel, but not terribly tight in the right barrel, about what one would expect in a modified barrel. A little tighter than Floyd's IC.

Stan, we are finding birds, but not in the usual spots. We've done a lot of driving north and south of here. Plan on hitting SC tomorrow if the weather cooperates. Have dogs will travel. Gil

Brent, it sounds to me like you have some deer hunters up there who don't shoot well or track well....

Great dog pic!

treblig1958,
Gus thanks you for the compliment. He is indeed a handsome fellow. He is also a fantastic pheasant hunter. I have been blessed with great Goldens, each one different than the others, but each just as unbelievably special as the next. Although my earlier dogs did not get many pictures, the last three, Ande, Codi (flatcoated), and Gus have been fairly well photoed. You can page through a lot of similar pictures at

http://www.public.iastate.edu/~jessie/PPB/Pheasants/

This is one of my favorites


Mike A. I'm not sure why the deer died. I have found quite a few over the years, and I never can really be sure what did them in. The buck this year was not far from a county road - maybe 150 yds out. He could have been car-hit and wandered that far into the cattails to die, or he could have been injured in fighting or something else. There was not much left to autopsy.
