Ron, were you hunting on the other side of the river?

Steve, I went down Back Rd on the Hill side of the river first and there were no vehicles parked at all (at 6AM) so we decided to stay and hunt the Old Village...On the other side of the old Sanbornton bridge, there were a half dozen vehicles already there (we saw them from the village side). There was a group on the Sanbornton side that were very vocal...yelling to each other and blasting like no tomorrow. You are correct about it being a "blood sport"
and I just wonder if it upsets anyone else?
The day before, I had driven over there to scope it out (thanks to your directions) and we walked down the Shaw Cove Rd and actually saw a nice rooster lounging in the sun on the road...we didn't spook him and turned around to plan the next day's hunt.
Took the day off today for some errands and will be back at it tomorrow.
