Ahah!! I know exactly where you are hunting! I recognize that leaning cedar in your second picture! And I know that cut-over in the third picture... there aren't very many areas that were cut over by the paper companies twenty years ago or so and I know just where that one is. In the Kokadjo area, right?
By the way, Kathy has the exact same shoes that Jen has and she likes them a lot. Very light and waterproof and still supportive - Good choice Jen, did you get them at KTP? |

John,
Pretty women with guns. I love it but how about some details such as barrel length, gauge, reproduction... All that knowing that your wife must be hunting with a Parker! Have a great hunt! ![]() Mark |

Today was difficult hunting.. Hard rain in the AM and then the wind picked up a blew hard. The dogs had a hard time picking up a scent - and while we were skunked, several grouse went up - and had a wonderful day... I can't really describe some of the areas up here, except to try to tell you how absolutely beautiful and pristine they are. For example, this afternoon, we hunted in a stand pf packed spruce - and the ground was a velvet cover of moss. We put up a few grouse in that area - but if they were more than a few yards away - they remained unseen...
Anyway - a couple of replies.... ![]() Dean - yep - Jen's boots are from KTP, as are mine.. Like - I would shop for outdoor gear anywhere else??? ![]() Mark - about that Parker Jen is holding... It's a 20 GA VHE, original beavertail, original 26" barrels, PG and is a DelGrego restoration from way before I owned it? It's my primary hunting gun and it's taken more woodcock and grouse than I deserve - and pheasant (which are stcked back here - still fun, but - well, you know...??). It just feels "right" and has for years. About the pics from today.... One of the rivers we crossed.... The next pictures are from the B-52 crash site.. I wasn't really aware of it before we set out today - but, when we stumbled upon it - I unloaded the gun and brought the dogs in. The dogs seemed to sense what Jen and I did - an eerie silence out of respect for the lost airmen from that fateful flight and night. I can't explain it... John |

Sounds like great country to hunt John.... and that it's a good thing you took Jen along if you wanted birds to take home! I've been on a lot of crash sights like that up here: B-24's, B-29's, B-17's, P-39's, F-105, L-4, and more. They all make you sit down and quietly wonder about the guys who went in with them.

Hi guys!
Many thanks - and Richard, you are right about bringing Jen along ![]() As well, Dean - I took the picture with my iPhone and don't have a computer to upload the picture to in its largest size (I'm writing this from my tablet). I'll upload it when I get home next week, OK? In the meantime, I found this link which shows a bit of history from the crash site: http://www.moosehead.net/history/B-52.html My best to all! John |

Dave wants to know where John borrowed the gun from..... I'd like to know where he borrowed the wife that can shoot like that from!
