First day 10/20/24

[Reggie Bishop]

Nothing like a Parker 20 afield!

Beautiful Dog. What is that clamped to the bottom of your barrel?

[Garry L Gordon]

Where are you in MN? There are several PGCA members in the Northern part of the state at present. I hope you're finding birds for that nice gun.

[Bob Hayes]

It's a shotkam and there are great when you're hitting what you aim at.Not so much when you're not.
Two inlets forest busting brush but had to do 5 miles but worth it.

[Bob Hayes]

Day started strong with about 8 or so flushes and was able to bag two.Got hot quick and decided to take the afternoon off.Tomorrow is supposed to cool off again and should be better for the dogs.

[Bob Hayes]

Finding birds daily but the WC are off as of yesterday.Hopefully things changed overnight with this front going thru.

[Bob Hayes]

Good view of a woodcock before the miss.

[Reggie Bishop]

Looks like good times Bob!

[Garry L Gordon]

I hope it's okay that I righted one of your photos

[Bob Hayes]

Thank you
Posting from the woods was slow at the least.I'm gonna post more in the coming days.The hunt was great in spite of the lower grouse numbers and the woodcock not really moving through yet.

[Bob Hayes]

Here's wc point and good look before the flush.

[Bob Hayes]

Few shots of woodcock from the shotkam.Second photo is a hit bird falling.

[Garry L Gordon]

That is really cool, Bob.

[Rick Roemer]

Really cool WC pics in flight. The first has two birds! I want to be where you are!

[Bob Hayes]

Here are some ugly dog retrieves and one last point.

[Bob Hayes]

Here are some shots of some of the grouse shots.

Here are some shots of some of the grouse shots.

Good examples of just how hard they are to hit in the saplings and pole size trees they love.:bowdown:

[Bob Hayes]

Yes and that's just few of the video's I got while hunting.I'm not sure what's more amazing, the fact they can explode out of that mess or that we can actually hit them occasionally with a shotgun.

[Bob Hayes]

My tally after 4 days of hunting with a rain out and a hot half day.We had good numbers and shot well.

[Frank Good]

We own two Shotkams, they only get mounted to our semi's.
