Did someone say wet? Grayson and I hunted in Newcomb, Essex County NY in the rain this past Sunday. We logged about 7 miles walking a logging road that looped around a pond. The birds were not along the road edges so we went in after them. We both got soaked to the skin, only found three grouse and had a shot at one which I missed. Good day anyway with Grayson showing some good indications that he is getting the idea.
The day before we put in a solid 6 miles through some really good-looking covers in Blenheim, Schoharie County NY expecting to find grouse and woodcock, but the only thing we found were ticks...lots of ticks. Very disappointing. We'll be back at it this coming weekend.
Mr. Day your travels and experiences are enviable, thanks for sharing them with us. Good luck and safe travels the rest of your season!
