We have been going to Michigan for the last three years, and luckily each time have hit the flight. Last year just the tail end, however in 5 or 6 days the Dogs had a couple hundred contacts. We shoot only a few for the Dogs. In previous years when in the middle of the flight, 50-60 flushes a day was the average. Excellent opportunities to start a young Dog and tune up an older one for the season.


Add in the Ruffed Grouse, which we do shoot, and it is a great trip.

ROMAC: In addition to the pics, nice shotguns....
