Like a man almost suffocated...
We headed for Grouse & Woodcock Camp today and after a loong 3-hour drive, finally arrived at camp.
Jamie brought his beautiful Trojan 16 and I brought my 28 gauge VHE Skeet gun as well as the 20 gauge Trojan I bought for my granddaughters... hey, I need to find out how it patterns don’t I?
Stepped out of the truck to witness the Vermont hills I love so much covered over with their very vibrant quilt of many colors. It is glorious here, and like I stated in the title, I felt like a man nearly suffocated by 2020 and all the restrictions on our lifestyles as well as being away from this place for nearly a year now, I am free and I can breath and stretch my arms and legs and get back out there in the woods and fields where I belong.
Tomorrow we go into the woods to experience the upland covers as we have come to know them.
