First day was a bust. It rained pretty hard all day and at around 2:30 the clouds started breaking up so we went out for a hunt. Grace was working really well and was doing everything right but we got no points and no flushes in a two hour hunt. They must have stayed in the trees all day. Along about 4:30 the skies opened up and we were almost a mile from the truck. We called it quits at that point.

We’ll see what today brings...

This is the camp (built in ‘54) in the old days around ‘83 I think. The stone house in the background was built in the late 70’s and the new camp in the second picture we started building in ‘96.

We are very close to each other. We should get together for a hunt. I’d like that.

Good luck Dean. I'm off to tug hill tomorrow with my son to hunt grouse and woodcock with Nellie and Roxie. Wishing you luck!

That would work.

We haven’t seen many grouse yesterday and today... 12 flushes but we worked our butts off for them. Most were in the trees because of the wet conditions. Gracie made one fantastic point and when I walked in on it the bird was behind a screen of brush and thick saplings. I shot where I thought it should have been but Gracioe told me I missed. Same thing with the woodcock shepointed this morning..

Thanks Charlie!

Yesterday was a comedy of errors mixed with heavy brush and foliage obscuring shots.
Gracie did exceptionally well and made some great points but I seemed always to be in the wrong position. We had 12 grouse flushes, only 2 of which I could see and only got a shot at one of them. Two woodcock points, one of which flew into my face and at about four feet from my face it dropped steeply and flew off behind a screen of low hanging pine boughs. I took a shot but Gracie said I missed that one too...

We’ll see what today brings.

The Canada geese are coming over pretty regularly now. We hear their beautiful calls thinly piercing the stillness of the woods. We watched them go over yesterday at elevations measured in thousands of feet only barely visible, some flocks above the clouds. Winter’s coming folks!
