We had the best hunt ever!! Hunted Maine for 3 days, flushed 130 ruffs, 4 spruce grouse and 10 mudbats. Total 144 flushes. My buddy and I limited out every day. Day one was a day for the ages. I was fortunate to kill 4 grouse with three shots!! Four were by a puddle and when they flushed two flushed right next to each other and, well, the rest is history!! I took two guns on the trip and after day one decided to stick with the Parker Trojan 16g and that was a good decision. We would have hunted another day but his truck broke a shock in the rear so we felt discretion was the better decision and limped out and home safely. BTW, don't ask where we were. If you want to take me to your morel hot spots we can work something out.

Reports of good grouse numbers for a few years now up there on the paper company lands.
Should have stopped at Porter's in Greenville to replace that broken shock.
I blew the transmission in my GMC jut 8 miles north of Greenville at 11:30 PM on a Friday night.
They towed me in and the tow truck driver lent me his own personal GMC so I could continue my salmon trip up to the West Branch of the Penobscot. When we came out on Tuesday I only had to wait an hour or so for it to be done. Then had a remanufactured tranny shipped up from Portland and it arrived at noon on Monday. Great people those Mainers!!!

How did the pups do? They must have had a good number of productives.
Callie did great for her first time on grouse and in the big woods. Productive points, backing Belle, pinning birds and retrieving all beyond what I expected. Dale’s Draht, Belle, is 9 and was a monster. It wasn’t her first rodeo and she helped educate Callie. To say I am happy with her performance would be an understatement!!

Mike’s right. If you could look on the back side of that tree you’ll see where I carved my initials into the trunk 11 years ago.
