Spent a few day's around Trout Lake 2 years ago and if I remember right saw only 3 or 4 birds, most of my time I hunt Crystal Falls and the Iron River area. From what I hear birds are way, way down so maybe I picked a good year to remodel! Back in the 80s I shot many limits of grouse and Woodcock while chasing a young Setter, today I chase my fat butt to the nearest chair so I can tell all that will listen how hard I'm working. Still can't figure out how the heck I let myself get old and darn near worn out? Good Lord willing next year me and Mr. Timberdoodle and old Mr. Pat will have another go at it.
