Geo, the rivercane in places is big stuff. Some as big around as a 12 gauge gun barrel and over 10' tall. But the birds love it. Gil

My friends and I had a great day afield. All three of us decided to use 16 gauge Foxes and it was a great time.

Romac,
Our woodcock season ended here in Michigan in mid November, and I miss them. Can't wait until next October! Our grouse season ends here on New Years day, but with the frigid temps here it might be over for me.

I really want to take my dad on a grouse/woodcock hunt while he can still has his health (4x cancer survivor). We would need a guide with dogs. I'm hoping to do that next fall. These photos are inspirational. Thanks!

My heart goes out to you folks in the north who have nothing to look forward to but ice fishing and ice carving. We wouldn't have these birds down here but for the weather you endure. Hats off to your indomitable spirits preventing your move to where we don't have to fish through a hole in the ice imagining that passes for a good time. Floyd, Jeff and I tried a new location to the south and we found some birds. 5 birds, 10 flushes. Floyd's glove signifies the bird that he lost when it fell out of his vest while shucking layers of clothing. My Brun-Latrige 16, Miss Brun, aka "Miss" and Jeff's 20 ga. Uggie. A nice couple of hours in the rivercane escorted by Pop and Sadie.

This week we had very low temps around St. Louis. and minus zero wind chill factors. When I wear heavy gloves to keep my hands warm, it is difficult to get fat fingers into SxS trigger guards with double triggers; so I use my old Remington 11-48. It still does the job. https://imgur.com/q1aVZtg Jerry Goldstein

GLS,
Perhaps I should just head south and follow the woodock next year, sounds like a plan to me.
