The only way I can tell that bird season is almost upon us is that my spouse says things like, "What's all that crap slowly accumulating on the floor in the office?" ...or..."Why is there an open jar of Sno-Seal and a greasy cotton rag on the kitchen counter?"...or..."why did you schedule the truck for service?"...or..."why are there suddenly 3 bottles of single malt scotch in the liquor cabinet?"
There are probably others but I can't think of them at the moment...too busy getting ready.

I never stop thinking/dreaming of Fall and bird hunting. Of course I have 3 English Setters to remind me all the time. This Fall's plans include about 3 weeks in the Great North Woods of the UP, and planning to go back up after their deer season around early December. January will find me around southeast South Dakota. My buddy is trying to get me to go to SD in December, but I'd rather go to the UP after grouse. He has a Lab which is better on those late season pheasant, but my setters are better on grouse than his Lab. I need to try a September trip to Montana or ND for Sharptails.

It’s sweltering even here in Romania. I can’t wait to get out, but it’s hard to think of it at the moment. Family beach vacation next week. Can’t wait. As soon as we return, my brain will be in full fall hunting mode. I have to stop myself from thinking about it too often, too early. I just enjoy all the fun of summer, beach and sun.

fall is easy to spot here...3/4 of the population suddenly disappears.
