I was in Danbury Wisconsin last weekend. I didn’t push too many around.

Those that I saw were in the heavy poplar cover. Seems like the green grass edges of the poplars was what they were after. Only took one bird its crop was empty.

The birds were SPOOKY.

I was running my old female weimer who is the quietest slowest dog in the grouse woods I have to run and the birds were breaking on her which is not usually how it works.

We had three solid points on 8 real opportunities, all the other birds jumped before I could walk up to her. Even on the solid points the bird jumped before I was ready.

Secrete the last couples weeks for me is to go SLOW and be as quiet as I possibly can. The dog and I were pretty much stalking the birds all day.

This is pretty much the last weekend in Minnesota before the army of idiots descends on the woods thru December so I figure I will head up to Chisholm; I have been hearing good reports around that area.
