In spite of things, I'd say a bad day afield beats a good day at work.

Loved the story, GLS. Way too familiar a path you were on. Fortunately many of the best memories are of those where we lost. Some of the stunts I've pulled.....

Not to discount the value of pictures, but a well told tale is a good substitute. Gil always tells a good tale. I look forward to hearing lots more of them...Geo

Fellas, thanks. It wasn't as much fun as it sounded. I suppose a bad day in the field (unless you shoot your foot off and maybe someone else's) is better than a good day at work.

What a difference a day and a change of location makes. We hunted civilized, head high rivercane today. Shots were easier than yesterday and we found some birds, or more precisely, Pop and Sadie found the birds. Floyd and Jeff in the photos to give some scale of the cane we were in today. Tomorrow is seasons end in Georgia with SC out end of the month. Work beckons, however. Gil

Cane not as dense as yesterdays. Heres Pop out about 5 yards.

Gil,
You're making me anxious for October to get here again in Michigan. Your woodcock cover looks a bit more brutal than ours here in Michigan.

Poppel (aspen) thickets are plenty tough, Karl especially when its hot. Grouse hunting must be at minimum, ten times harder than Texas quail hunting...no kidding. Tough upland cover is pheasant hunting in a marsh....very tough walking. Ive heard wild chukar hunting is really hard due to terrain, but Ive never hunted wild chukar.

Yesterday I shot this 16 gauge Cogswell & Harrison for its 104th birthday. I have a letter from the maker indicating that the date of completion was 1/21/1914. Every year on or around this date I take it out for its annual birthday hunt.

Snipe Hunter,
I'm looking forward to starting the same tradition with my new 1911 Churchill this coming grouse and woodcock season in Michigan. Come October!
