October has flown by!

October is always a very busy month and while September provides great variety October is very much one thing. Yes I guide a few fishing trips usually early in the month and the rest is dedicated to chasing grouse and woodcock on upland bird hunts with the dogs.

Last summer my long time grouse finder Mae passed away and has been replaced by another English Pointer, Rocky. Rocky is a three year old male and is fitting into the routine very nicely. In fact he is one of the easiest to add to the team I have ever had.

He immediately fit into the day to day routine at Libby Camps and is finding birds regularly. All of which makes my “month with the dogs” easier. Woody the golden retriever is along and enjoying what will most likely be his last year retrieving birds. Copper who has been the young dog riding along is now the experienced pro.

One of the best parts is spending time in some of the more remote parts of the state, watching the leaves turn color and fall. Every day brings a new set of conditions and challenges but also some new adventure. I am sorry that you have to miss it!
