Wish I could be there. I just got back from a week of birddog camp in northern Wisconsin. October will be here before we know it and those days when I feel most alive.

More pictures.
My dogs Bert and Fielder We just put up a nice yellow tailed second year grouse 100 yards from the camp and on the road in 72 degrees at the Parker cabin Drat. I can’t get enough electrons flowing to load photos. I’ll get them later. |

I envy you - the air here today has been like a tropical swamp.

We aren't just LIKE a tropical swamp down here. We ARE a tropical swamp. It is truly miserable
Would love to be up at Pine Ridge Grouse Camp. Hopefully, it will happen one day |

My dogs have been with Jerry the last two months while I was teaching shooting at Boy Scout camp. We run about 6000 youth and adult leaders through camp and are the largest session camp and second only to Philmont. So Jerry boarded, did a refresher on Bert and Fielder. I want my dogs to be steady to wing and shot. And not to bust birds at all. Bert the pointer is a better big runner for prairies but Fielder the setter is closer, methodical and cautious and may be the better ruffed grouse dog.
Jerry Havel at Pineridge Grouse Camp is a Parker guy and PGCA member. There are a bunch of u tube videos on the camp . I often hunt with Jerry for a couple days and usually rent a cabin or house in the next county north and guide friends. Lots of places. Walleye dinners. The grouse count was down last year but this year the drumming count is high and it may the apex of the cycle for this year and next. I’m spending a month out to start on sharptails and Hungarian partridge in Montana and move east to Minnesota for sharptails, woodcock and ruffs. |

Wow!. Thanks for report Bruce. Good times. My brother in law is from Remer. Never thought I would hear Remer, Minnesota mentioned so prominently. Will have to go see those Pineridge videos.
BTW Bruce did you move. Your old location was Flyover Country now it is Edge of the Plains, or is that the same place? |
