The migration is in full swing here in Central NH. Pushed over 15 birds today. Fun times.

Out again today. Season closes on the 14th so time is a'waisting. Limited out again with my Dads 1912 16 gauge Ithaca Flues, factory choked cylinder/full. Weighs 5 lbs 12 oz. Great bird gun. He purchased it sometime in the 1930's from a Widow who worked where he was working for $25. I treasured that gun so when I graduated from College he gifted it to me. Special to be sure.

A "red letter day" for you today Steve!

As of this past Saturday evening we haven't seen any flight birds in the NEK. Lucky you!

Woodcock are, as always, where you find 'em.

Bruce, we had lots of rain this past weekend and this cover was partially flooded. We were walking in 4" of water most of the time.

Great pics of your setter Steve!
We've been finding woodcock in the quail fields at Myles Standish and Crane WMA's. They're here!
