Mills, if you don't have "That's Ruff" by George King you are missing one of the finest contemporary books on the essence of grouse hunting ever written. George just passed away a few months ago. He was a 'Gentleman's gentleman' who had "been there - done that" and one of the easiest guys to talk with I've ever known..

I bought that one recently as well and really enjoyed it too.

Sorry to hi-jack this thread.

Along those lines, hope to see a lot of you guys at Backwoods this Fall. The one this past year was a lot of fun

Mills, October is a busy month for the Grouse/Woodcock hunter. If you want to chase the King of the Uplands you might have to decide between real birds and clay ones. Just saying:whistle:

It is early in the year and I am being optimistic:whistle:

I'm being pratical. October goes by is a blur. I have friends who have already asked for my place for a week in October.

Mills, you should move North!!

Yes Mill's you should move north, I think you and your bride would really enjoy it.:)

Larry lives in the "snow belt" of Connecticut and he has to shovel all the way to that barn out back to get to his tractor..... :shock:

Yeah Mills - you should really move north... just not in that section of CT:nono:
