North to the Border Line

[Bruce Day]

Heading up to meet with friends and chase north country ruffs.

Dad's old hat, a well used pair of Russels and a 1910 20ga.

[Mark Callanan]

Nice wood on that one
Great shape also
Nice to have dads items
Great memories …...

[charlie cleveland]

[Todd Schrock]

That's a great 20 Bruce..........good luck!

A few photos from up north. Warm and sunny the first day, then colder and rain, but finding birds. Today up to the border after sharptails.

Was fortunate to bag a nice rare golden color phase grouse for mounting.

These old 100 year old Parkers still work.

Hi Bruce, have a great time. We are still picking corn. Getting much needed rain, however at this time of year rain is not our friend. Pheasants around here are nearly zilch. Hope you find plenty of birds. Jim

[Mills]

Great photos! Looks like a lot of fun.

[David Weber]

Should have figures out a way to go! Thanks for the post and pictures!

I've never seen a "golden phase" here in the northeast. Can you show pictures of it?

The birds you and Charlie are holding are what we call a "brown phase" here in the northeast and the only other color phase we talk of here is the "gray phase".

You talking about one like this Dean?...its my third golden /buff phase grouse,this guy threw Heiko and myself for a loop on four different occasions last season ,He just wouldn't hold for a point or fly right in my face if he did ...when I finally brought him to bag I felt like dirt for doing it .
