Grouse Opener in Vermont
Nine flushes - all from trees because it was still wet in the underbrush and grown up orchards.
Jamie was able to take 1 shot but didn’t connect. I got no shots and Grace only made 3 points... probably mice or something like that.
We heard one grouse drumming way uphill from us just before we were going back to camp for lunch, but we were pretty exhausted and decided not chase him uphill.
