Have you read A Hunters Road by Jim Fergus? Chapter 16 entitled "Looking for Mr. Grouse" is about yours truly.

Dean, I just finished reading "The Upland Alleghenies" by Bob Fala, who is now the WV DNR head, taking over for Frank Jezorio. Not a classic by any means, but enjoyable read. I had planned on reading That's Ruff at the beach in Sept just before my 2 week UP trip. May I suggest Timberdoodle Tales by Tom Waters and "Afield" by Robert DeMott. Mark Jeffery Volk wrote at least 5 books on grouse hunting/trout fishing, The Winding Ridge Trilogy, and Pages from a Mountain Journal,1 and2. I have 60-70 books on basically upland pursuits--far from a library of works, but I have made it my goal to go back and read every one of them again. There is this damn thing called the internet that keeps me from reading as much as I would like. See you at the Southern
