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.
