Scott hunted Maisy this morning for a bit. She did just awesome! She had 4 amazing points and all 4 pheasants were flushed… problem was Scott couldn’t seem to hit the broadside of a barn today. Just bagged one bird… good morning of hunting, anyway. Scott also forgot the camera today, so no photos of [...]

Bittersweet Day of Hunting…
Posted by LML on October 27th, 2007
Saturday, October 27th, 2007 Scott and I set out early this morning with Luke. A friend had told me about this new “hot spot” last night. Although, sitting in the parking area at daylight things didn’t look very promising. There didn’t seem to be cover to hold many pheasant; a few well-mowed, small fields separated [...]
Scott Limits on Pheasant with My Bird Dog, Luke
Posted by LML on October 23rd, 2007
Tuesday, October 23th, 2007. A rain day for Scott, so he took Luke out again for pheasant, feeling badly about not getting him into birds on Saturday. Today was much better with no sight of other hunters and a different spot to try. It didn’t take long for my trusty Luke to get on a [...]
PA Pheasant Opener
Posted by LML on October 21st, 2007
Well, the PA Pheasant opener was disappointing to say the least. Scott headed out before daylight with Luke (I was exhausted still from all the traveling, unpacking, cleaning and catching up and didn’t want to get out of bed at 4:00 am.). The area he chose to hunt was already loaded with hunters when he [...]
Reality Sets In…
Posted by LML on October 18th, 2007
Well, depressing as it was, we had to finally pack up and head home. I am seriously considering looking for a place to rent for about 3 months next year. I figure September thru November will be perfect. I can arrive a little before the grouse opener and work lots of dogs on lots of [...]
More Excellent Llewellin Work on Upland Birds
Posted by LML on October 13th, 2007
Our good friend, David Witner, from Nimisila Creek Kennels joined us three nights ago. He brought his Llewellins, and the past three days were a blast! A couple of the group hunted over his dogs, a couple hunted with Scott over our dogs, they hunted a few dogs together, and I worked the pups mostly [...]
Another Great Day?
Posted by LML on October 9th, 2007
Yep, what can I say? It might be hard to believe, but everyday just seems to get better. We really just can’t believe it ourselves. I will say it again, there isn’t a place we stop that we don’t get into grouse or woodcock or both–and lots of them! It has been an excellent trip [...]
Another Excellent Day of Upland Bird Hunting
Posted by LML on October 8th, 2007
We had a nice change in the temperature today…. and more rain. Didn’t have to worry about the gnats today, just keeping dry. It was another fantastic day of upland bird hunting with some awesome dog work. I even got the 5 month-old pup, Jess, on another grouse! He was amazing working a large meadow [...]
Bugs Suck…
Posted by LML on October 7th, 2007
Weather: 82 degrees… yuck… Well, the bird hunting was awesome and the guys all had a great time and great shooting opportunities as well. They said the very first hour of hunting here was better than a whole day of hunting in Maine! They loved it. Only problem was the awful, muggy heat and the [...]
Another Excellent Day Hunting on our Upland Trip!
Posted by LML on October 6th, 2007
Weather: Upper 70′s and lots and lots and lots of rain…. Well, the weather really was just about awful today with much rain and very warm temperatures. The are usually would be receiving snow this time of year, but not so this year. We didn’t let the rain hold things up, though. We hunted in [...]
