Shhhhh... We have hardly any birds in PA. Please refrain from spreading this nonsense of jumping 25 woodcock and improving grouse numbers. I'd hate to see somebody waste their time based on this spurious information.
Looks like you'll have perfect weather the end of this week in northern PA. Best of luck.
Marcus

Sharptail hunting by Baudette and Rosseau. Flocks of birds. Supposed to snow Sunday. The giant fish at Baudette has new underwear from when I lived up here.
On the way up, we stopped by Puglisi's and ran into Steve Cobb and Ernie Houseman. In a few days we hunt with Randy and Jerry Havel by Grand Rapids. Been seeing lots of birds. Heard about the Julia auction results. Some bought some nice Parkers. People have been doing some serious buying down of Puglisi's stock of Parkers. We also got the word that the Julia auction was about $17 mil of investment grade guns and was the second highest firearms auction in history, and that the Parkers did well overall.
The golden ruff is a light golden color and the brown is darker. Don't see many golden ruffed grouse. After a red tailed one next and preferably a gray one with red tail for mounting.

We also ran into Mark Ouelette and his wife at John Puglisi's . They were passing through en route to acquire a pointing lab pup. Forgot to mention that above and didn't mean to slight him.
There was an outstanding GHE 20 at Puglisi's if people are interested, as well as some other nice guns.
Snowin' an blowin' today in Waskish Minnesota so a slow one here in the barn. The guys just went off to the antique shop to peruse and buy wild rice, leaving me to guard the homestead. The day started off with tasty eggs supreme by Pete Kappes. We definitely needed something to dilute the Grain belt beer and Makers Mark from last night's BS session.....

back in the eighties and nineties, used to find grouse on state game lands in potter cty pa...birds became scarce in late nineties...are they back now?
P.A. is managing the forest better with some clear cutting for the past few years....its helping greatly! Yes there are hunt-able numbers in the northeast, north central part of the state (north of 80) A hunter must enjoy the woods and wild places and be happy with any bird shooting we get. Some days are better than others for shooting. My friend jumped 25 doodles saterday morning in potter co....did not shoot at them but returned in the afternoon to hunt and shoot a bird for his 3 year old male setter and they all were gone. Must have been flight birds? The Grouse hunting is getting better each year...(-: Im packing as I type....Ruby is chomping at her lead! Oh happy day! The weather for-cast is good for hunting this weekend as of now....SXS ohio
