My grandson and I waited all morning for the rain to stop so we could go hunting. It finally stopped raining and we went on a short two-hour hunt. After an hour of hunting the wet covers the sky opened up and it took us an hour to get back to camp.
We were soaked through but we took care of our Parkers and fed and watered Grace before we tended to our own comfort.
The Parkers are dry and wiped down with Ballistol and snug in the gun rack.
Now to get these wet clothes off.
Had seven grouse flushes - I missed my only shot - and one woodcock that Grace bumped accidentally.
