The fine GSP and the fotos of Mr. Spiller's final resting place--Thanks John and to others. In tribute also to the ruffed grouse, and all them men and dogs that appreciate their evasive flights and the beautiful coverts in October where they are found-- "praise me highly as a fitting trophy for the day, and take me home in the great pocket in your coat"- so many fine writers and sportsmen hold Sir Ruff as King of the Uplands-
I'm not a true grouse hunter, more of a die-hard waterfowler by nature, but I will give Sir Ruff this- the ONLY upland game bird that cannot be domesticated or pen raised, as the case with pheasants, quails and chukar partridge- Long may he Reign--
