Default Now It Begins - Needles and Pins

Grace and me and BIL Jamie are headed for Grouse Camp tomorrow...
but first, Kathy and I will be doing a bit of celebrating tonight on our 49th wedding anniversary.

Jamie shoots a really nice Trojan 16 with 26” barrels choked IC/MOD and it carries like a 00-frame 28 gauge it’s so light!

I’ll be giving my ‘new to me’ VHE 28 gauge Skeet gun a workout on its inaugural Tampico grouse and woodcock hunt... I hope. Rumor has it that bird numbers there seem to be holding their own... we’ll see.

Let’s see if Grace remembers anything... it might take a little refreshing her memory on my part.

Full report on a daily basis as it being at such an elevation that I get great cell service at camp.

Good luck. There is a possibility I may try grouse hunting for the first time this year with a friend in the Southern Appalachians

Keep chalking up those anniversaries(!) -- congratulations. Looking forward to reports from your hunt.

I head to the Upper Peninsula tomorrow with the dynamic duo of Ike and Duke. Duke turns 1 tomorrow as well. It's an extended stay 5 weeks with no internet availability so any reports will be in November. First gun up is Gunner's Gun as always. Have heard good things on bird numbers. I hope to get the boys into some Woodcock early on as there great training birds.

Good luck to everyone have a safe and wonderful October.
