Hello Dave,
I am near Port Clinton on Catawba island. We will be hunting in the northern lower part of Michigan in and around the Lewiston area. We will spend 4 or 5 long weekends up north this year, I will hopefully be able to post some pics. Keep Beau tuned up on those quail for when you get the chance to go.

Heff - There is an NSCA registered shoot at Lewiston Sportsmen's League on this Saturday. You might want to get in and warm up for the real thing

We are heading up to Gladwin on Friday too with my new English setter Wisp so we will see how she does! Two weeks ago when we picked her up I had to grouse points and five woodcock, so I am hoping.....

Heff, good luck. I spent the weekend in the U.P. (Trout Lake area). The colors were beautiful, and I'm sure you'll have a good time. We were looking for ducks. Hope you find a few grouse and woodcock.

I'll be up there from Monday till Saturday myself. Not really to hunt, more to fish, but I'm taking a gun along just in case I run onto something interesting.

Leaving on the 7th to hunt around Atlanta. Have got into a few Grouse the last three years, however the trip is mainly a tuneup for the Dogs on Woodcock. We actually only shoot at few Woodcock for the the Dogs to have a few retrieves.
Each of the last three years has accounted for 200 plus Woodcock contacts for 5-6 days.

The first two years we were there we were in the middle of a migration drop in. Had one hour were we had 40 some Woodcock contacts.
Last year went to the upper and the flight had passed us. So we packed up and headed South and luckily got into them. The Ruffed Grouse/Woodcock migration map was a big help. If the current map is correct we may be on the Northern edge again. I don’t think we have shot 10 Woodcock total in the past three years. Just let the Dogs do their thing.
