In northern Bayfield County... People are finding some birds, still a bit green and a lot of leaves. But if you put your time in, you will see em and get some flushes.

Leaves are about half off now in this area, where success rates have been going up on the ruffies. Today on a half day trip I managed to score on three, where that makes a total of nine birds for this year on three trips.

Definately birds around, where I am finding them near 5 to 10 year old aspen stands that have grass and water nearby.

I got out in So Bayfield County Sat and Sun. Sat was a bust with the high winds. Actually saw 2 big dead trees fall close by. Thats when I gave it up for the day. Sun I got 1 grouse and 1 woodcock. I had chances at 3 more of each just couldn't get a good swing on them in the heavy popple slash. I saw all the birds within 200 yds of a river in 6 or 8 year old dense popple. I will get back up there in a couple weeks.
