Grouse down

Went out for a half day.    Shot a grouse and missed 1 other.  Only 3 flushes.    No woodcocks.  Hot and dry in woods.    Bugs everywhere.   

Took kids out Tuesday night.   Ducks were still around.   Ruger did great retrieving all 5 

Opening weekend

Didn't get to get out on the opener.  Had to run the fat fire festival race.  Ended up hunting Monday night.   If was hot.  Ruger got sprayed by a skunk.  Pushed 3 woodcocks in the slash.    Ruger pushed them all.   Went by box stand and ruger's beeper wern off.   I went in it stopped and went off again.   I walked in and he was looking in a tree.   A bird flushed from my side.  I missed with not barrels.  Reloaded and the spotted one in another tree.  As I shot it, another took off and I swing 180' and nailed it.  My first double in a long time.
