First day was a bust. It rained pretty hard all day and at around 2:30 the clouds started breaking up so we went out for a hunt. Grace was working really well and was doing everything right but we got no points and no flushes in a two hour hunt. They must have stayed in the trees all day. Along about 4:30 the skies opened up and we were almost a mile from the truck. We called it quits at that point.

We’ll see what today brings...

This is the camp (built in ‘54) in the old days around ‘83 I think. The stone house in the background was built in the late 70’s and the new camp in the second picture we started building in ‘96.

We are very close to each other. We should get together for a hunt. I’d like that.

That would work.

We haven’t seen many grouse yesterday and today... 12 flushes but we worked our butts off for them. Most were in the trees because of the wet conditions. Gracie made one fantastic point and when I walked in on it the bird was behind a screen of brush and thick saplings. I shot where I thought it should have been but Gracioe told me I missed. Same thing with the woodcock shepointed this morning..

Good luck Dean. I'm off to tug hill tomorrow with my son to hunt grouse and woodcock with Nellie and Roxie. Wishing you luck!
