5” hanging on everything currently. Calling for 3”-5” tomorrow. 100% chance of snow down your back. Grouse are precious!

Life can be cruel. My good friend Bill, suffered a small stroke up here Sat night. He ended up in Green Bay for 3 days, was released and being driven back home by his son. He was in good spirits this morning, but dissapointed.Bill shoots the AHE 20 and a BHE repro.
Another friend in the cabin with Bill, fell yesterday, and broke his collar bone, leaving now also. My hunting pard Terry leaving tomorrow with his lab for Nebraska pheasants(youth hunt. I'll be here by myself for another 10+ days. Old friend Mike will be in the cabin next door. We will have to keep an eye on each other. It was 2 years ago that my mitral valve ruptured up here while grouse hunting. Requiring open heart surgery. IS hell getting old, but enjoying every minute of it.

Rain turned to white out snow at noon today. Moved 8 before conditions went South and had to quit.Roads got real slick. Sweet Willie from the day before

Gosh, Harold, be careful! I hope you and your buddy in the next cabin let each other know where (at least generally -- no secret spots revealed) you'll be hunting. I also hope you don't get all of the snow that we have in Northern Minnesota.

Good luck and good shooting!

Yeah, we got the snow here. 4th snow event since I got here. Went thru 3 pairs of gloves today, with rain turning to wet snow again. Moved a dozen grouse in spruce cover.,but only one shot. Hope things get better, l still have another week here

That’s the spirit Harold!

I know just what you mean - it gets more painful every year. Heck, after just a two or three hour hunt I hurt like hell!
I anticipate day’s end when I can self-medicate.

But I won’t stop til I drop.
