Grouse opened up here Aug 10 but I generally don't hunt them before Sept 1; just seems too early and they're still too dumb. We kicked some up along a river last weekend and they just flew up into small trees like spruce grouse and sat there looking down at the dog and us. It's snowing in Barrow, there's frost warnings around Fairbanks today and tire chains were recommended for a pass on a road north of town two days ago. Summer is closing down fast. It's 41 deg here right now....
