Lloyd3, when you say Lake of the Woods country, are you referring to the lake that borders on both Canada (Ontario and Manitoba) and Minnesota?

[]  [/email] The two primary color phases of birds I see up there. There is also a third phase, which is "mixed", having charactoristics of both red and grey. My "heavy" 12, a "lefty" 557 Arrieta.

[]  [/email] A dear old friend I no longer own (1887 Perke's Patent John Blanch light 12). She just didn't fit and I didn't have the heart to mess with the original stock length or bend her (she was and is still in her original case).

[]  [/email] Back in 2006 or so (late September by the looks of it) with another old friend I no longer own (1892 Thomas Bland 20 bore). That's a spruce grouse cock, and the local transportation (my father-in-laws trusty old Ford).

[]  [/email] Spanish guns can be fairly handsome (the big red cockbird isn't bad either).

Lloyd, my family has had cottages on that lake for decades. First place I ever hunted grouse, as a young teenager. While I won't be so foolish as to suggest I know that old road, I sure have walked down a bunch that looked like that. One of my favourite places in the world.
When I was 11 and my brother was 12, we were fishing in that lake for a few walleye for dinner and my brother caught a 40 pound Muskie. That was a bit of excitement. He leapt overboard into the shallows to ensure he didn't lose it.

Canvasback: A 40-lb muskie would be a thing to behold! I'd guess that the Canadian side of the Lake is equally as beautiful in Early October. Autumn in that region is truly magical. I wait all year for it.
