Hi everybody, <BR> I'm back from my week long vacation on Orcas Island. I help with the fireworks show up there every year. Saw too many Deer again, and even a Pinto two point Buck in velet to boot! I see that the Grouse w/chick reports are still coming in strong, Too bad there are none on the Islands. <BR> Please for all you Washington scouters, leave the DOGS at home for now, this is not upland persue season in Washington. It starts August 1st. the birds need this time to raise there young in peace. Scout for moroding Bobcats and make note of their home terratories. They have a great impact on local bird numbers and cycle up & down with them. boy I'd better get out and see what everybody's talking about.... [img]images/icons/crazy.gif" border="0[/img]
