Nothing like chasing wild trout in the fall

October 17, 2009

With hunting season still a few days away, I felt the need to get outside and enjoy the fall weather. It wasn’t a very nice day, cold and rainy, not a good day to scout and besides I knew where I was taking Brandy on Saturday to grouse hunt.
