I'm leaving for Northern Vermont this Sunday for Grouse and then the Woodcock opener on October 1. It should be about an 8 hour drive.
I'll be taking this restored Fox 16 gauge Sterlingworth and my 16 gauge Fox XE upgrade.
I hope the weather holds out, but it looks like rain on Tuesday.

Pine Creek Dave,
Sorry that this is a Fox themed trip. I'll be taking the LC Smith's out for a stroll later in the year!

Hey guys
I leave the 8th of October for Grants Camp for woodcock and grouse
I’ll have my Parker-Hale(Ugartechea) 28 gauge (part of a 20/28 two barrel set)
From there to Montana for some Prairie Chicken (and some Brown Trout)
for a week then Friday to So Dak for the Pheasant opener with my trusty
16 gauge Parker-Hale (Ugartechea)
After many years and too many (ha!) guns these have became my favorites
light ,fast and I’m pretty accurate with them
I didn’t buy them new but I have had them for many many years
Spreader loads for the grouse Kent or B&p for the pheasants
Wish me luck
Joe
