Beautiful! (Well...not you, but everything else
 ) That also seems to be great shooting, especially with so many leaves still on the trees.

Thanks Garry! The thing with all the foliage, we only had one flush that we really didn't have at least a glimpse of the bird and that flushed maybe 5' from me going hard right and low through the saplings.

Mike, I can't even shoot nearly that well on open field birds...but then, I'm very conservation minded.

Nice looking dogs. Anymore photos of the wirehair? How did she handle the grouse?

Wow. Polar opposite from our trip, congrats Mike! That's a good looking few birds next to that mustachioed beast.

I know those old “forest products” roads. Great grouse covers sll over northern New England.
Been there often. .

). We had a great three days of hunting. I traveled and hunted with Life Member Dale Wilkie. He brought his 11 year old German Wirehair Pointer and I brought our smallest Setter, four year old Callie. We flushed 83 birds. The numbers were almost one-half of what we flushed last season. Out of those 83, two were spruce grouse and three were nudbat. The ground was very dry and temps wer near 70 in the afternoon so we knew the mudbat would be tough to find.
