"What I'm saying is that one little woodcock doesn't represent a poor day's hunt - in this case it represents the culmination of hours of good times, great memories and a sore and stiff body (which is my measure of a good time in the grouse woods." Dean Romig 10/25/09.

Words of a true bird hunter, you could not have said it any better.

Why..Did she have a long protruding beek..:duck:

Dave, glade to hear you and your son are having a great time in the woods. Special times for sure. cherish every minuet, to soon they grow up and move on. This is the first year I haven't been able to hunt with my son. The Marines have him in school in Georgia. I have had 2 great saturdays in the grouse woods, had a great time (including a report double on woodcock), but that special somthing is missing. He is coming home for Thanksgiving, Maybee I can steel him away from his girl friend for a little grouse hunting. Absolutly nothing better than watching your son grow and mature into a seasoned hunter and a favorite hunting partner.

Ben,

I spent nearly 20 years at sea in the Navy and Merchant Marine. When I came home there was no better friend than my father. We rode horses, fished, hunted, shot silouettes and now don't tell anyone, but we walked 18 t0 36 holes of golf four times a week. Be prepared for him to be just a little more interested in the girl this time home, but I would bet he will jump at the chance to hunt with you.

Kindest, Harry
