Default Michigan grouse hunting rant!

There is virtually nothing I would rather do than hunt grouse. From January to September I look forward to hunting and make big plans. There are 11-weekends this year to hunt grouse in Michigan. Throw out two weekends because they are too hot and then at least one in December because of family obligations and I am left with 9. I'll lose at east 2-3 more for family stuff and now I'm down to 6-7 not taking account the weekends where rain and wind make hunting almost impossible. Just seems like the season could/ should be a few weeks longer. *sigh*

Jay: It does get better when you retire you can count days instead of weekends. Thomas

I hear you. I get all excited when a hunting season comes around and then I am lucky to get out much at all.

I spent the weekend in the woods, the squirrel shooting was fine but saw hide nor feather of a grouse. I did miss a pair of wood ducks.....

DLH, last Tuesday night I walked into my tree stand and kicked-up close to 40-woodies. Would have been nice to have a 20-ga Parker instead of a bow.
