Bruce, what a great schedule. Any young dog will be a seasoned veteran after that'
Shawn, I am leaving that same day for the UP, and will be in NW Kansas from Nov 24- Dec1.

Did someone say wet? Grayson and I hunted in Newcomb, Essex County NY in the rain this past Sunday. We logged about 7 miles walking a logging road that looped around a pond. The birds were not along the road edges so we went in after them. We both got soaked to the skin, only found three grouse and had a shot at one which I missed. Good day anyway with Grayson showing some good indications that he is getting the idea.
The day before we put in a solid 6 miles through some really good-looking covers in Blenheim, Schoharie County NY expecting to find grouse and woodcock, but the only thing we found were ticks...lots of ticks. Very disappointing. We'll be back at it this coming weekend. Mr. Day your travels and experiences are enviable, thanks for sharing them with us. Good luck and safe travels the rest of your season! |

Pete and grouse.
With the wet the birds have been up in the firs and balsams , hard for the dogs to scent. This one was on the ground. |

A beautiful day here in the Minnesota north . Two to five inches of snow is forecast and granular snow is now coming on a north wind.
We will go chasing grouse a little later. So for you southerners just lah de dahing about and basking in the sun, here is a photo for you. Then waiting out the snow with a big breakfast of blueberry pancakes in Blackduck MN |

Used to buy wild rice from the Landreth Wild Rice Company in Black Duck. Now, long gone

Could not find my picture of the big Black Duck in Black Duck, but there's some similarly interesting town statures up there in the North Country.
