Just got back from 3 days (including driving) hunting G&W in MI with that gun. Saw no woodcock and three grouse; one was shot at, no confirmed kill. Had a chance to meet Bill Bolyard; a really nice guy with fine dogs, friend and family. For the first time Ringo decided he wasn't going to take any more crap from a Porcupine and wound up looking like John Muir. He's confronted them a few times in the past and always held his point till collared. At thirteen you'd think he would know better; took me more than an hour to get all the quills out of his face, neck and inside his mouth. He was reeady to go in the morning though, and even with a sore mouth, he regained his appetite.
