Hunted from the wife's cabin the last few days, can hunt both MN and WI from there. Was able to shoot 18 ruffs and brought home my possession limit of woodcock. The dogs were tuckered out, my buddy's dog is beginning to catch on to what it is supposed to do. I was able to shoot 4 grouse and all the woodcock over its points. A fair number of leaves were still on the trees making it somewhat hard to see the birds. The leaves are likely to fall a lot faster, had a hard frost and two days of winds up to 20 mph. This is the last week I have my buddy's dog, he will be home Friday in time for the pheasant opener. I'll probably head back to the woods, there seems to be more grouse and some of the highest pheasant counts in the state are less than a half hour away. There are even pheasants a half mile down the road from the cabin which may get a little attention from my Aussie/pit mix. He is a pretty good flusher and retriever though he is a lttle hard mouthed.
