Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock gunning over Ryman Setters.
Upper Delaware River
I surmise you have to do something in the off season other than field work with setters. Like so many others, I choose to fly fish. It seems as if fly fishing, double guns and upland hunting are synonymous within the tangled web we weave.
Nice blog David. Im looking forward to following your and Cedars adventures. Hes a good looking boy, he will be great to see running through woodlands.
Nice blog. I just put it on the Upland Equations blog roll. I will be hunting with a puppy this fall too, a Brittany named Misty. I can't wait for those crisp clear mornings this fall. Have a great season with Cedar!
Thanks for the add Andy! I've been reading your blog for quite sometime and always enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing some pics from your neck of the woods with Misty. Have a safe season.
Thanks for the add Matt, I'm just outside of Syracuse. Been following your blog for awhile now, think i recall seeing a post on a ruff hunt you did here upstate during the winter. Nice ESS's!
Nice fish, Dave! It is funny how the two past times connect. I came to fly fishing first, myself. Came back from Montana after some friends got me going with a fly rod and bought a few magazines. I read articles about and looked at pictures of dogs in the uplands and figured I'd take to it. Sure enough. They kind of go together like peanut butter and jelly. There may be something that works with peanut butter besides jelly--but nothing seems quite as right. Its kinda like that.
You said it Parker. I too was a fly fisherman first. My buddy brought his llewellens out years ago and that was it...once ole' Purdy locked up on a grouse point something magical happened. Ever since then I have been obsessed.
David, Thanks. I grew up in Buffalo, went to Cortland State for a few years and have family in Syracuse. So I know that area well. I try to make it back as much as possible.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! Cedar is a great pup, can't wait for the ground to tighten up and the crisp autumn mornings to arrive.

Good deal Matt. 7 weeks left, can hardly wait. Broods seem to be plentiful here this summer!
