Default Early UP Trip

I made a last minute decision to make an early, short trip to the UP. The temps had been ok, but the heat came back about time I got there. I knew it would be thick and green with little window of opportunity to shoot. I moved birds but mostly heard them, with only an occasional glimpse and rare shot even though the birds were pointed. I did manage to take 1 bird per day with the little VHE 20.. Early morning temps were already in the mid 50's when I hit the ground each day around 7:30. I wore an orange T-shirt to hunt in. i probably wouldn't go up this early again--live and learn, but still had a good time. I'll be headed back up there around Oct 17 thru Nov 3. Looking forward to seeing pics from everyones trip.
