Sharptail hunting by Baudette and Rosseau. Flocks of birds. Supposed to snow Sunday. The giant fish at Baudette has new underwear from when I lived up here.

On the way up, we stopped by Puglisi's and ran into Steve Cobb and Ernie Houseman. In a few days we hunt with Randy and Jerry Havel by Grand Rapids. Been seeing lots of birds. Heard about the Julia auction results. Some bought some nice Parkers. People have been doing some serious buying down of Puglisi's stock of Parkers. We also got the word that the Julia auction was about $17 mil of investment grade guns and was the second highest firearms auction in history, and that the Parkers did well overall.

The golden ruff is a light golden color and the brown is darker. Don't see many golden ruffed grouse. After a red tailed one next and preferably a gray one with red tail for mounting.
