I tried the South end of Marlborough near Ottawa yesterday with my Weim. 3 hrs later two points one woodcock and one grouse and no Birds down. Lots of spent shells in the woods itself...I didn't expect a lot of birds due to the pressure it gets. Nice day for a walk at least.... on a down side I picked off 12 ticks from the dog and five from my boot laces...pile of them in there this year.
Out with Tessa this morning just south of Barrie, put up 7-8 birds and dropped three ... 2 hour hunt.

Great thread gang.
Migrants yet or locals still? I don't have many locals and usually don't start seeing birds till 3rd week of October. Haven't seen any yet
Mutt and I flushed 3 while looking for grouse today. Had shots at all three, might just get a migratory permit next season. All 3 were flushed at least twice, they don't flush far and then you pretty much have to kick them to get them to flush again. Is that normal or a sign of unpressured birds?
Yes, 2nd or 3rd flushes on WC are not uncommon. Yesterday I could actually see one on the ground after the 1st flush. Naturally, I did the sporting thing and waited for my dog find him. He's still alive today! :ashamed:Quote:

Walked solo for three hours yesterday.
Northeast of Napanee.
No WC but flushed three grouse with no chance to shoot.
Everywhere I've been this year has been just too dry... :(
5-6 flushes in GTA today.
