FlySarge:

I would go on past Pittsburg and follow the river and look for dirt roads that follow the creeks coming in from the west.

There is lots of great cover up there!

Good luck.

The 'flush rate' for 'Ruff' has been pretty good so far, this year in the south. No woodcock, though--although I've heard others have seen and shot woodcock, in the southern part of the state this season.

I was walking along a wood trail the other day and spied a sunny grassy area on a south facing bank and said to myself; "self, if I was a grouse, I'd be sittin' right there munchin' and sunnin'.

Sure enough I walked over and BLAST!...right under my feet, there he goes--a big fat Ruffed Grouse. Blam went the gun and off went the bird. Clean miss and I couldn't flush him again. Darn. I shoulda been payin' closer attention.

I think those birds have degrees of 'higher' education, or something.



I'll be back..........john
