Just got back from five days of UP bird hunting. Don't have any pictures yet, I'll try to get them up later this week. We started with a few days of grouse - flushed a lot more than last year (tried a few different spots). We've been doing this for four years, always seem to find better locations when we explore - part of the fun.

Anyway, more birds flushed, but fewer kills - not many leaves down yet, made for tougher shooting.

The duck opener was warm, needed a wetland camo t-shirt! We still got some shooting in, and bagged three birds. Same for a quick hunt Sunday morning, three more ducks before packing up and heading home. No geese this year, but we sure saw plenty.

Hopefully I'll get a few more hunts in around here locally, weather sure is feeling more "ducky". Good luck to everyone.

Are ya switchin fall sports on us? I thought for sure you would want to catch some half rotting fish from the river.

Just don't seem to have much enthusiasm for 'em anymore. Bring on the steel!

I think you should do an egg collection. I'll take a couple quarts.

Very cool Mike can't wait for the pics!
