Hey C.O.B.,

Michael may have a point. There is snow forecast for later this week in Michigan. :cuss:

I hunt Grouse every weekend of the season all most. Add in Pheasant and Woodcock and Daisy is a busy girl and the Parkers get afield a plenty. The fun starts 9/15 and briefly stops for deer season (rifle) 11/15-30th then Grouse is back open until Jan 1 and preserve birds close next week. Not to say I wouldn't ming leaving in Jan/Feb to go hunting elsewhere but I would rather live here and hunt a week or so elsewhere in the winter than be somewhere else. Beside I love rabbit hunting and the sound of the Beagles. I don't ice fish however:nono:

Marc no snow today but there was a very little bit yesterday. Don't worry it will snow at Pauls shoot in May!

Mike just where is this side of Hell your on? Perhaps some redemption is in order you are therefor invited to challenge Grouse in Michigans Upper Pennisula :)

C.O.B.,
Right now I'm in South Carolina (unfortunately, recovering from a seriously broken leg). Did a lot of Grouse hunting in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Canada. Mixed that in with some Duck & Goose shooting. Hunted Pheasants every weekend and often midweek in the season. Now go to South Dakota each fall. Quail hunting down here and in Jawja. Best quail hunting I ever encountered was in Texas. 20 coveys in the first morning.
Haven't done any Dove shooting down here, but did a lot when I lived in Southern California.

I wish you a speedy recovery on the leg and hope it heals 100% so you can chase birds this fall. It's only 5mos to the Grouse opener here. It will be here in a blink of an eye.

Thanks for the good wishes. Going to miss the Southern Side x Side for the first time in many years, but working towards being ship shape for hunting seasons.
