From boom to bust. Yesterday, multiple hundreds of birds. Today, nothing. We did have to deal with a pair of trespassers, which probably had a little to do with that. But it was a good day anyway. We both finished with strong legs. That's not a small thing.

Now, it is on to Nebraska, I think.

Last week was top-notch for woodcock in the swamp. Birdie found 50-60 birds in 3 hunts. A good time was had by all.

Georgia doodle season ends Monday. SC ends January 31st. This season has been underwhelming compared with the last few. Several factors influence when and where we find them here in good numbers. We need brutal cold to clear the decks of birds north of us. We got some birds but when the Atlantic coast freezes over including North Georgia and South Carolina, they stack up in good numbers where we have found them over the years. Woodland river flood plains need to be full of water to shrink the habitat where we find birds. Wet woods, help as well, pushing worms to near the surface. We have had little of the above this season. The silver lining has been the discovery of new areas we previously ignored. I was in one such area today with the MuttPak. Despite woefully poor shooting, I scratched out a couple in a few hours with 10 flushes. As usual, the dogs did better than I did.

Shot Thursday afternoon in a big sunflower field with the A H Fox BE grade 12 ga. with 32" barrels. Lots of doves, I mean LOTS of doves. Killed my 15 bird limit with 21 shells. One ounce of no. 8s.

Used the same gun today on a millet field and brought the total for the two shoots up to 24. Shot like crap today. Drew a tough stand and got nothing but long shots.

Today I took this 16 gauge Cogswell & Harrison out for its annual "birthday hunt". I have a letter from the maker with January 21 as the date of completion so every year on or around that date I take it hunting. Today we celebrated its 107th birthday.

That Coggie appears to have a very slim wrist. It's pretty, but you sure don't want to take a fall with it.

Beautiful picture!

Skip, I recall seeing the old Coggie over at the old snipe forum moons ago... She doesn't look her age. Gil
