North woods Maine

[Mark Kircher]

We headed back to the North Maine woods this week. We had great weather - leaves down and ample opportunities on the ruffies.

I shot like a man possessed on Day 1, and I was rewarded with my first grouse limit and a beautiful woodcock with only 7 shells fired .

Of course I was proud of my efforts! However, I must have dislocated my shoulder patting myself on the back because I followed up the next day with a big fat ZERO over 10 shots.

From Hero to Zero in 24 hours........How can that be ??? It is an unforgiving sport........ Cant wait till next year!!!

I'm jealous. I spent the whole afternoon listening to 30 mph wind. Uncle Fran got off one shot, But all I got was tired. Saw way more birds in VT last weekend than in Maine today. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
