We were lucky and spent the whole month of August up at our
place in grouse country. We did a lot of hiking and found some new bird cover.
You can never spend too much time in the woods.
Now we’re back home and the days are getting noticeably
shorter and the air has a little nip to it. Fall is knocking on our door.

So I sit and look at the calendar, trying to figure out how to
get the most hunting out of the pitifully short seasons we have. The biggest
priority is days up grouse country. I’m trying to block out two weeks, but not
sure if the bank account can stand it.
I’d like to catch a little of the early duck season here at
home, but that’s a low priority. Some years it is spectacular and other
years…well forget about it.
I’ll be up north for opening day, I know that, and within the
next few days I’ll have to decide when I’ll go again, probably late October and
maybe into November.
This working for a living just gets in the way of fun!
