grouse season is open this saturday and woodcock the following wednesday got the 20th and the 23rd off planning on a long drive north to give it a try then off work again to hit the UP Oct 6th through the 14th for some more chances at these fast flyers
tough tough shooting, get to see more flushes or should I say hear more flushes with all the leaves on the trees but its still fun and if you go early there is still alot of young stupid birds to be had. Just need to keep in mind how hot it can get in Sept 80 degree days are common so make sure to have lots of water for both you and the dog
