Minnesota birds

[Brian H]

Having a great day at Pine Ridge with my 16 gauge GH 26”, aftermarket ejectors, CYL/MOD chokes and vintage Canuck papers. The 125 year old Parker stills performs!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Sure looks like you are having a heck of a time up there in the North woods!!

[Dean Romig]

It looks like you're having a good hunt at a great outfitter.

Is it an optical illusion or does that woodcock on the right have an exceptionally short bill?

Young bird perhaps?

Had a young, middle age and an old one.

Good stuff Brian and I like the wood on that GH. We're on the road to SD to chase Roosters. Good luck with the rest of your hunt.

Hello Brian. I stopped by Pine Ridge on my way south and Jerry told me you were coming the next week. Too bad I missed you. I’m chasing pheasant in SoDak the first week of Nov and thinking about heading back to Minn if the weather holds.

Last year we had snow in every trip from September on. This year has been better and the bird opportunities have been better.

Maybe we’ll get together in the field sometime.

That would be great Bruce.

Picked a mature male yesterday.

I live on the extreme edge of grouse range and I have never heard of one being seen south of here. I've lived here for 15 years and saw one today which make 8 I think. Do the colors vary with these birds or is it me? The one I saw today was awesome and looked large. I had one sitting on a mountain oak limb a while back outside my bedroom window that looked very red in the late evening sun. Is that normal? Gerald.
