I got my bell from Lion Country Supply, always got good experience with them. Sunshine today and up to 30. Thought it would be a good day to find birds, but only moved 12, only one shot but made it on a big gray cockbird.

Best thing about the weather in the north woods was that people once again were talking about the weather like old times instead of the China virus or the election.
Locals weren’t saying this is like it used to be, but like they had never seen and way to early. Four hours northwest of the “Banana Belt” of the UP, it was winter. 3” - 5” everyday didn’t change no matter which of the 3 radio stations we changed to. We made the best of it and only lost 2 days to your basic whiteout conditions. We found a few birds each day, made the most of our opportunities and thanked God for each bird in hand and just to be there. I’ve wrote before I don’t let grouse season end, it’s not that hard to do living with bird dogs and Parkers. It’s always bittersweet to leave grouse camp. Harold I don’t know anybody that works for their birds or for the King harder than you do! 30 plus years as a chapter chairman is amazing commitment. |

Sunny and 30 yesterday. Up to 40 today finished in the rain. Snow melting, birds on the move today. Shot a 5 bird limit. Was pushing hard in the rain for the 5th bird, Doodle pointed 5 bird covey, and rolled one with the left barrel
