Fall is just around the corner

[Chris Pope]

Left SC last weekend and arrived at hunting camp yesterday in northern NH. 2 Parkers, a 16 and a 20, a 28 ga Repro and my handy little Benelli 28 ga Ultra lite shell-shucker (rain gun) made the trip. After an expected overnight frost tonight, opening day temps should reach mid fifties with a NW 5-10 by afternoon. Normally that's perfect but locals are very worried about bird numbers due to a wet and cold spring affecting nesting conditions and a drought that will have woodcock looking for wet and wormy areas.
No matter- here with 4 other old guys that I've been hunting with for many many years.
