The dance has started up here

No a Parker, my apologies.

That sure is a big bird or a small gun in that last photo ; )

Where is "up here".

[Lloyd McKissick]

Northern Minnesota.

We have a small home on the Lake of the Woods. The gun is a smallish, 5lb14oz Brummie boxlock that really fits.

The Parker hammer will come out after the freezer is happy.

Lloyd,

I’m in Minneapolis for my nephews wedding. It’s in the 80’s and muggy. You sure it’s going to get cold?

Mr. Hill: Well, sure it will, but maybe not today. Too far north for it not to.

We've had frost here already so... this is technically Indian Summer up here now, but the leaves are rapidly turning and some are already falling. It won't be long now.

Another part of the dance up here (when it's too-warm to hunt) ...

About a 16-inch fish. Not huge walleyes but... good table fare

and when it finally cools off here again, more of this:

We’ll be there for the last two weeks of October. I hope your hunts are in cooler conditions, and that you get those hammer guns exercised. No dogs?

[Lloyd McKissick]

Only the dogs that other folks bring. Our dog has aged out and we're not ready for a new one just yet. FWIW: I've killed lots of birds up here without a dog. A dog is clearly better but not absolutely necessary, at least not here.
