Subject says it all. In NE VT for week. Weather thinks it's mid July. Way too hot.
On the way up stopped at my usual spot in St Johnsbury. Immediate raised a woodcock and downed him with th Franks's former M12 20g.
That pretty much has been it. Haven't raised a grouse. I'm not the best grouse hunter but at the place I am staying there are probably 6-7 other hunting parties and if 1 put up a grouse that was good. Ran into a camper in the Bill Sladyk WMA that I met last year and he has been there since Saturday and hasn't seen a grouse. Of the 5-6 other hunting groups that have been close to him he has heard 3 shots total.
It's dismal. Today I probably drove 30mi of logging road hoping to see something along the road and saw nothing.
Took my boat as well. That has been a big fat bust. Dogs swam. I got a sunburn. Who would think Oct 4th on the Quebec border one would be in swim trunks and no shirt getting sunburnt.
