I just got back from a day in the Errol/Berlin area of New Hampshire. Lots of grouse and a good number of woodcock, even though the flight birds had not arrived. We put up close to 30 birds, had about 10 passable opportunities (including two that almost knocked my hat off), and managed to bring a few of those home.

This Fox 16 Sterlingworth is new to me, but she brought down a grouse on our first opportunity together. She also managed to bag this woodcock too. No telling how many grouse and woodcock this gun bagged before we met.


Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
