When you’re not watching....
Grouse season just sneaks right up on you!
In the middle of all the BS everybody’s dealing with these days, ourselves included, it just dawned on me that there really is a God and heaven for me and mine is in the thickets and coverts on the scrubapple hillsides in my little piece of Vermont. It’s just two months away and I plan on closing the ‘social distance’ between me and the rapidly escaping grouse with a charge of #8’s from my 28 bore.
It may be a little early but I wish ALL bird hunters find their own piece of heaven this fall !
