Here's a postscript to our hunt. We are now home after one of the best October hunts we've had in years.
Jeff promised to send me a picture of the Black Duck of Black Duck, and true to his word, he did. A real pleasure to meet another Parker man.
I'm still hoping that another Northwoods hunter will post a report or photo to help ease the pain of another October gone.
On to the quail cover of Missouri!
Photos:
1. The Black Duck of Black Duck (Thanks, Jeff!!)
2. Cedar in Cabin #6...I assume dreaming of grouse, the Northwoods, and next October.
3. An October sky, something to remember until next year. There are far too few Octobers
