Greetings from the Northwoods… I can’t believe how quickly our time is flying by.

We’ve had fairly warm weather and are really looking forward to the coming cooler temperatures.

The dogs are doing great and despite the temperatures and a very down year on ruffed grouse, most are seeing at least some action.

We’ve enjoyed hunting with friends and feel blessed to be here and to get to enjoy the company of great people and great dogs.

Enjoy some of the latest photos:

The ticks are very bad this year… very depressing as we’ve never seen so many in previous years. I shouldn’t have stopped the garlic!

Tick check...
