Scott and Santana

Northwoods Bird Camp 2010 Comes to an End

Northwoods Bird Camp 2010 is now over. With a very heavy heart, I left my soul in the Northwoods and headed back to PA. I left seemingly endless forests, peacefulness, clean air, friendly folks, and wonderful opportunities for the Llews and came back to, well, none of that. blah. The last weeks of camp were [...]

After a few weeks of lots of company, things are suddenly very quiet and I must say, a bit lonely, here in the Northwoods. The last group left today and it was quite sad! There are still some folks that I will get to meet and hunt with over the next few weeks, and lots [...]

Northwoods Birdcamp 2010 Continues…

I can’t believe I have been this awful at keeping the reports updated! So much has been going on and the landscape has drastically changed as well. Over the past week, Scott has arrived, one group has been here and left, and others have arrived. We were blessed to have family, friends, and fellow Llewellin [...]

Northwoods Bird Camp Days 16-21

Things are very busy here with folks coming and going. Scott arrived with the rest of our Llewellins–I really missed them! They are settling in and loving getting to hunt. Town and the woods are busier with more hunters and dogs. The weather is perfectly delightful for the week ahead.

Northwoods Bird Camp 2010 Day 15

Well, I have been here two weeks already. I can hardly believe how fast the time is flying by. The leaves are changing quickly [...]
