Minnesota grouse and woodcock

[Brian H]

Just finished up 6 days in Minnesota hunting woodcock and grouse with Tom Wooden. The last 3 were with Bruce Day where he shared some of his local knowledge and experience in finding the best covers which provided plenty of birds with shooting opportunities. His setter Fielder and pointer Bert did not disappoint us in providing many chances to harvest birds. I am fortunate to have had another experience with Bruce in the field. He is a true gentleman with many charming Inn’s, local restaurants and Ice cream parlors with homemade pies on his radar.

We also had the Alaska fishing guide Brett Vana helping guide Bruce through any tricky covers.

Pictured is the 2022 PGCA raffle gun, more on that later.
I shot a 16 gauge DH Damascus
Tom shot a 20 gauge GHE
Bruce shot his spectacular 20 gauge CHE Damascus

Take note of my woodcock in a tree…
