fall; upland bird hunting

Getting ready for October Grouse

October means grouse hunters for me and a lot of running for the dogs. One of the challenges in late September is always clearing enough time in my day to do a little walking in the woods with each dog. I have been managing to squeeze in a couple of hours here and there over the last few weeks.

 

Fall in the Air Today

Today we have been treated to a brisk northwest breeze and beautiful clear skies. You can tell that as soon as the sun starts toward the horizon that the temperature will drop. Fall is definitely on the way and the October upland season will be here soon. I am looking forward to spending time in the big woods at Libby Camps with the dogs enjoying the great October weather.

Great time of year!

This fall’s foliage seems to be better than I remember. It is interesting though to be in two regions of the state separated by a little better than 200 miles and see the differences. I travelled home from Libby Camps this weekend for a little rest and relaxation. (Actually to clear out my mailbox and the top of my desk in the office) At any rate the foliage here on the coast lags the North Country by a week or so in my estimation.
