The annual Michigan Woodcock/Grouse Dog tuneup is over. This year 3 three of us and 6 Dogs missed the best of the flight in our area, and by the last two days the Woodcock were moving South. Still ended with 244 Woodcock contacts. We only shoot a couple for the Dogs. Grouse were spotty and we ended up with flushes in the low 20's for 5 days. Still a great time and the Dogs got in some excellent work.
You know that you’ve arrived, when you get to hunt with an English Cocker, while carrying an Ithaca 37 in 28 gauge! Congratulations on the great hunt!
