Opening Day

[C.O.B.]

Grouse season opened today to an overcast sky temps in the mid 50's and a call for rain. Today was a far cry from yesterday when it was 36 at 7am and I had to let the truck run to defrost the windshield.

Daisy and I took Gunner's Gun out to some state land near me. I haven't ever hunted this but it looked promising so we gave it a try. She pointed 3 Woodcock but they don't open untill next Saturday. A large bush shielded what my ears told me were two or three Grouse but I never saw them just heard em. No shots fired but it was good to be in the woods again with Gunner's gun. He has been gone one year yesterday and there's still a big hole he left behind but his spirit will be forever with me and I will always have special bond with a special Parker.
