I Stopped By Today for Some Good Joo-Joo
 

Headed to Vermont in the early morning and I fully expect the woodcock have mostly all filtered through leaving us with only grouse to gun for.

So I stopped by for some "spiritual help" in the way of possibly bumping into Bill Foster's spirit. I'll admit that I felt something - don't know exactly what it was, but it was almost palpable.

Maybe he'll be looking over my shoulder at that critical point when a grouse flushes with that spine-tingling thunder of wings and he might even nudge my barrels in the right direction...

Karma works - I'm sure of it.

Dean,
We just returned from our first visit to the southern Adirondacks and moved plenty of grouse but very few woodcock. I assumed the flight birds had not yet arrived but maybe we just missed them.

We were in the middle of a flight two weeks ago in Vt.
17 woodcock pointed and flushed in just over an hour.
That’s the best we’ve ever seen it where we hunt.

Nice photo of you and your Brittany! Beautiful dog!

Larry, is that a 20 or a 28?

It's actually my 6lb. DHE 16 gauge with 3/4oz of #7 1/2 RST's. The 20 and 28 are still drying out from the New Brunswick trip. As the pics below show it was a little wet up there but the 28 still did some good work.

Nice!

looks like the ford truck was about as far as it could go...nice picturesand good looking dog...charlie
