Capt and mrs. Henryk Good 7370th flight service Rhine main air base report being an avid sportswoman i always read your column. I was particularly interested in your accounts of Birkhahn Black grouse Hunting. Perhaps your articles inspired my Hunt for this much admired trophy. Upon Reading your column of june 11, which i enjoyed greatly i would like to have you add my name to the Short list of american Hunters who have bagged a Birkhahn. I hunted the same area on the Wetter Sacui As it col Charles Undercoffer so i must have undergone the same Rigours As he except mine entailed hiking Clear out and Back in for permission for an extra third Day of Hunting As i was originally Given two. V my name was drawn while my husband was i saudi Arabia. We had discussed this possibility and Jeanne. Decided that if i should be so Lucky i should go alone. My name came up during our move from Frankfurt to Rhine main and As a result i was forced to for \ Feit one of my three Hunting , after Hunting two Days with my Jaeger and not getting a shot the Bird was always out Orange he asked me if i could Hunt again the next Day if he would get permission from the fors Meister. This meant walking Clear out to Garmisch from Wetterstein getting permission and hiking Clear Back to Hunt the next morning. Point of no return permission was granted and also much interest was shown. They examined my guns As i had brought three a .222, a scope sighted .32 and any 12-gauge. They decided i should take the �2 for when the Bird was out of Range of the Shotgun. Now. Dared not return without my Bird. The next morning i got my Birk Hahn with the scope sighted .22 at 70 meters. This experience shall never be surpassed in my lifetime. Thank you for your  Jeanne e. Good.
