Wonder why the engraver didn't show the 'ruff' around the neck. That guy will never find a girlie bird friend with that display...

I have been on a few chases of these things up in the North Woods, led by a sadistic buddy who told us to go into thorn thickets. I think it was an excuse to torment the flatlanders, although I have managed to shoot a few.

I hunted them nearly as a religion for years until we simply lost them in the early 80's. No one knows why, they simply vanished. Sad indeed, they are a fantastic bird, Jerry

O man to have a grouse on me Parker !!!,I'll have to settle for having em flush in front of it for now...I have a curious predicament up here in that as far as I know I'm the only person who even attempt's to hunt them with a pointing dog,but that's fine we have it all to ourselve's
 , it's just something about grouse hunting with a fine dog and a fine gun...the lonely wood's, bubbling little brook's full of trout darting this way and that as I approach and a bird that never fail's to stir my soul as it flush's.....an addiction it is to be sure ,but of the highest order !

Jerry,
In the early 70's we had them all over central ct. Now there are a few birds around but not what you would consider huntable numbers. |

RUFFED GROUSE
That looks like a Runge Grouse on that A1S. The females do a strut intended to lead you away from the clutch of eggs or young birds. They occassionally continue this through the early season.
I,m getting to feel a little more like myself, and can put my feet under the computer for a while. Best, Austin |
