Nothing, not a god damned thing. The hunting was putrid. Between Sandy and this nor'easter, you can't get through half the trails and everything has scattered.
Really crappy season. at least the dog got some exercise. --Jim

This year has been a bust do to my leg injury last March. Last month I went up to the interior to visit a friend. I got out for a hour or so and got a ruffed grouse with my latest M37 20ga. I then helped him get his winter wood supply in. 12 cords.
The pic is of grizzly bear tracks on the road when we were going to cut wood. T.W.K.

I hope your injury heals up soon BC. do you carry something large and powerful in case of a pissed off Griz? In some places I go in Central NH, I have both bear spray and a Ruger Super Redhawk.

Worked and played in the bush all my life. Only carried a gun while hunting. This summer while walking my springers I could hear them coming through the bush towards me. But it was a Black Bear,it was close enough I could have poked it in the eye with my cane. When it saw me it spun around and skinned out before I had a chance to poke it. I live next to the bush and it is not uncommon to have a bear in my yard or walking down the street. They raise hell with the fruit trees in the fall. Always stay cool and give them a way out. They can move a lot faster then we think they can.

I can't agree more. stay out of their way. Same for moose, too. They might look docile, and they are for the most part but don't piss one off. they are fast and can flip motor vehicles when motivated.

 Been a slow one for me – just two doves and this one wild rooster from a national wildlife refuge not far from my home. Got a very fine piece of dogwork on the rooster, though, and we took this photo when we came across a mobility-impaired duck blind. I'll kill a bunch of pen-raised pheasants at my club during January and February, but that's not the same. |

I'm with Raven. This has been a horrible season thus far. It's too hot, too dry, too sunny, just bad. I've gotten a shot at exactly one rabbit, and that's with some good dog work. And I manages to shoot him up beyond salvage!
They're in the thickest of the thick, buried up, and when you do have a good race you can't push them out yo get a shot. Man I hope it gets better! |

I bought a 12 gauge Waterfowler this year and took it out last month on its first hunt. The first flock I shot three times, three gadwalls fell. The next group I shot once, dropped another, then one more shot next flock and dropped another.
All I thought was WOW, this new gun is five for five and a triple to boot. Then I got cocky and missed five or so in a row. I typically hunt 10 gauge but have decided my Waterfowler is now my prime gun for 12. Best purchase I have made in a long time. Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.

Out this afternoon for a short hunt with the 28 gauge Ithaca Model 37.The first place I was in ,I was in for only about two minutes and bagged two rabbits.The next place I went in I bagged one rabbit.
Seems kind of unfair to bag them as the rabbits are easy to see as they are white and the ground is bare.Nature has played a cruel trick on them. |
