Ruffs up north

[Bruce Day]

Rain rain rain then snow.

1. Minnesota mist all day so stick to the trails. In the brush you get soaked in a hurry.

2. Pete and Dick making woodcock , jalapeño, cream cheese and bacon poppers. Pretty spicy so Scots whisky helps.

Bruce, sticking to the trails is a good plan, grouse are birds of the edges, and you can cover a lot of territory on the trails, and have great flush rates.
I know its been pretty darn wet, but at least the temps haven't been too bad.
Where all have you been so far this fall--in generalities, and what birds? Why? I want to do this myself--I kind of figure that the year 2020 would be an appropriate year for an eye doc to retire and plan a big road trip--thinking about starting in Idaho and moving east and ending up in the UP.
Shawn, have you met up with your brother in Idaho yet? Just finished his grouse book and really enjoyed it--looks like I'll have to pick up his other books now.

Harold...

I'm leaving on the 19th to Idaho for a week. Can hardly stand the wait!

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.
