I sure do miss those birds... Not much birding to be had up here these days. It looks like you guys are enjoying them fully, and kudos on some great wingshooting!

Hey all, well these will be the last pictures I post as our upland season ended today. It was an Okay season, the bird numbers were down quite a bit due to a hard winter and drought. Still, we managed to get a few anyway. This year was a far cry from last year as far as weather is concerned. We couldn't hunt the last month of the season last year due to some bad winter storms. This year was much better, a 180 from last.

Yesterday was cold and windy, didn't see many, but I was able to get one.

I used my 12ga Buhag Hubertius (sorry, don't know why the pic is the way it is, can't rotate it for some reason)



Today, the last day, was much better, nice day, not bad winds and the area we hunted produced. I was lucky enough to limit out, my son Jim didn't fair as well. So for me it was a great ending to the season!

I used my Siace 12ga 350G



And the best hunting partners a guy could have, my son Jim and my Raina Dog



I just want to thank the good Lord and St Hubert for another safe and successful year, it's been fun.

Thanks for all those great pictures here on this thread, keep them coming!

Best to all!

Greg

Good to hear from you, Greg. Glad you are all safe and sound.

Thanks again for all your pics and posts, and for initiating a great idea for a thread years ago.

Thanks so much for the kind words Stan! I just hope the good Lord will give me a few more years to get out and do what I love to do most.....bird hunting.

Thanks again!

Best, Greg

Floyd and Jeff on the edge of the rivercane waiting for Abbys and Willas bells to stop ringing. Cool for down here in the high 20s at 10 a.m. when we started.

We found a few birds. Snow and palmettos?? Not something we see around here usually. The only thing that might be just as rare are other woodcock hunters. The Ithaca SKB 20 of Floyds, my MF Ideal 302 16 ga., and Jeffs Uggie all have in common factory 25 (+/-) barrels. Gil

Greg, the middle pheasant has head marking different than the others. We see this in Canada with male pheasants with no neck rings.

A couple photos from my last two days in the field. It was cold on Saturday, and birds were in the grass and some very tight, but not a lot of roosters. Nice Opossum though.

Sunday it was warm and there were very very few birds in the grass - they must have been out among the dirt clods in the fields I guess. But we got one, with a really good team effort, and managed to get a picture of it.

I did 15 miles this weekend and got two birds, missed another while shooting from a willow thicket - the woodcock guys will sympathize...





I was glad to see this one. They struggle with the kinds of temperatures that we have been experiencing. But apparently cattail marshes make good habitat and we found more tracks in them. This one had come out to feed in the sun on some waste grain.
