I too bird hunt/ dogtrain I am counting the days for my Maine trip, alas 7 days of grouse,woodcock, waterfowling

By the way how was Georgia?? I have hunted Mass,Maine,Novia Scotia, North Dakota, Connecticut, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. North Dakota is by far hands down the best place I have been as far as upland bird hunting goes, I have always wanted to take my Drahthaar down south and hunt wild quail. Were these wild birds you hunted on a plantation?
