Thank you Charlie! It is a beautiful day here. Spent some time looking at my guns, now breakfast with Mills and puppy intervention with our trainer in a little while

It was an assume day here also. Couldn't ask for anything better.

This was a great weekend in Auburn, it warmed up from the cold spell and the Tigers pulled one out for once. There was talk that they were going to change the Auburn greeting from War Eagle to three and out. Hope everyone else had a nice beginning to November.

Today (actually yesterday) was a great day here in WNY to mow the lawn possibly for the last time and get leaves picked up. That is what I was doing after my morning pheasabt hunt. My wife and I also had the chance to get a batch of spaghetti sauce made.

Every day I wake up and get up is a great day! Rain here this morning, Charlie, but it will help the food plots.

I hope your food plots have done well. We got ours in late due to a sever drought all summer long, but it's been rainy ever since. The clover is up, but still young and small, but the nurse crop of wheat looks decent.

No big ones on the trail cameras, but a couple of "keepers 'til next year" will be entertaining to watch. It will be 15 degrees Saturday morning, our firearms opener. I'll hunt a couple of days and then cross the line into Iowa to have a "real hunt" -- wild quail over a brace of Gordon setters...carrying a Parker!

Good day to you, Charlie!

I shot clays Sunday afternoon

I spent most of Sunday swearing that I'll never drink again.. :nono:

But I did get the yard mostly cleaned up today.

I've had several good mornings chasing grouse and woodcock with Grace this season. Actually, the bird season is far from over but with rifle season for deer opening this Saturday, I'm afraid I'll be done with them for this year anyway.
Grace has turned into a very good woodcock dog, pointing them with intensity, sometimes with the bird a mere two feet or less off her nose. But she still hasn't learned she can't get that close to grouse.

Saturday morning Grace received a visit with two of her beautiful daughters who will be 1 year old on November 17. All three of these girls were ecstatic and played and licked and played and ran all over the place. They were so much fun to watch!

It has been a great season and I thought with the fall of woodcock we got two weeks ago (17 flushes in 1.3 hours) that they would have passed through, especially with the high winds, snow and cold of the last week or so... But NO! we had six points and flushes and we scared the livin' daylights outta them!! (...we decided to leave them as seed birds for next year. :whistle:)

looks fantastic Dean !
