I've had several good mornings chasing grouse and woodcock with Grace this season. Actually, the bird season is far from over but with rifle season for deer opening this Saturday, I'm afraid I'll be done with them for this year anyway.
Grace has turned into a very good woodcock dog, pointing them with intensity, sometimes with the bird a mere two feet or less off her nose. But she still hasn't learned she can't get that close to grouse.
Saturday morning Grace received a visit with two of her beautiful daughters who will be 1 year old on November 17. All three of these girls were ecstatic and played and licked and played and ran all over the place. They were so much fun to watch!
It has been a great season and I thought with the fall of woodcock we got two weeks ago (17 flushes in 1.3 hours) that they would have passed through, especially with the high winds, snow and cold of the last week or so... But NO! we had six points and flushes and we scared the livin' daylights outta them!! (...we decided to leave them as seed birds for next year. )

Wonderful photos! Looks like a great place...with a great bird dog. Glad you left some seed birds. I do my part also, and if they gave awards for birds left, I may actually win something!
