So, are you chasing birds up there? We happened on to about a dozen dusky grouse here at home last weekend, and took one nice big one.
ReplyDeletetell galen hi for me. i keep meaning to send pictures of you shooting, but i can't think of a witty enough title: i'm currently leaning towards something about special agents vs. post modernists.
ReplyDeleteSawtooth -- I am in search of the semi-mythical North Dakota sharp-tailed grouse. Seriously, the dogs keep finding where they were, as opposed to where they are. It's a big prairie.
ReplyDeleteJason -- Send me the photos, wittily or not.
I'm stealing that!
